Do humans only have five senses, or do we have more?

In addition to the classical 5 senses we can sense temperature, pain and equilibrium (balance).  We also have coutless other senses which work subconsciously to keep us alive (water, sugar, salt balance).

Lots of thing have more than the 5 senses we are used to. Bats and toothed whales use sonar, fish have lateral lines, sharks can pick up electro signals. Snakes and animals with whiskers can sense vibrations with their tounge and whiskers respectively.

there might be other creatures that we are not capable of seeing, some call them ghosts, or demons or spirits. We are limited the 5 senses to sense the world around us.\nWe know dogs can hear different frequencies that us, they also have different senses, some say they can see ghosts or other invisible things to us. \nImagine if all human didn't have eyes and could not see, we would have no consept of color, we would not know the difference between day or night. same thing now, if we had "other" senses we could've seen or sensed new and different things that currently we have no understanding to it.\n\nI think the ghosts interact with us and we sense them but we usually think it is our gut feelings.

We all have seven senses: sight, hearing, touch, taste, smell, proprioceptive, and vestibular.\n\nProprioceptive is how well you sense your body's position in space.\n\nVestibular is your sense of motion and balance.\n\nPeople who have sensory intergration dysfunction have difficulties with one or more of these seven senses being overly sensitive, not being sensitive at all, or needing more stimulation from that sense to be comfortable.\n\nHere's a website that can give you the best information:\n\nhttp://www.sensoryint.com/\n\nAlso, look at these:\n\nhttp://www.comeunity.com/disability/sensory_integration/

This is a problem. Medical dictionaries define an organ as a relatively independent part of the body that carries out 1 or more special functions. Lists of internal organs usually list 22. The skin would make 23. Eyes and ears are certainly organs and in the skin are sense organs. So there isn't a definite answer or an official answer.

In the 1920s, at a time when conventional physiology only recognized five or six senses, Rudolf Steiner proposed that there were far more. He defined twelve senses; of these twelve, the first nine are now well-recognized: the equilibrioceptive (balance), proprioceptive (movement), nociceptive (sense of pain and wellness), tactile (touch), gustatory (taste), olfactory (smell), thermoceptive (warmth), visual and auditory senses. Steiner proposed three more senses as well: the sense of phoneme or language, the sense of thought and the sense of ego (the ability to recognize an ego outside of our own); he termed these three 'higher senses' that depended upon the healthy development of the foundational senses of balance, movement, pain/wellness and touch. Steiner's last three senses have not been confirmed by scientific research; in particular, sensory organs for them would have to be found.

I believe you are all missing Sauron's joke.\n\nSo to answer your question, no that is just senses 4 & 5.

The Brain is the least understood part of human anatomy.  Considering this as a fact, and that the eyes (like all other parts of the body) are controlled by the brain, reality is all about perception of senses.  We as humans can be tricked into believing that things are three-dimensional, floating, transparent, or even close to us (how close are stars to earth?)....\n\nI guess you could contemplate anything as reality...so you could see nearly anything...or if you contemplate nothing you could see nothing.\n\n    This message is not really here...it's all perception.\n\nAre you reading this?

Well, its pretty much as crimsonmoonvc said.\n\nUnlike the spatial dimensions of perception, time is not directly accessable by any sensory organ. We precieve time by the unfolding of the events around us.

According to science Dogs do have the sense of hearing sound waves beyond and below the human hearing levels. (20000Hz and above, 20Hz and below)\n\nAnd they also possess the great ability to sense things through smelling them! (Sniffing!)\n\nWith these two great senses that are graded higher than human senses, i assume that it has the ability of understanding a vehicle that could be in distance, by hearing it and simply sniffing you close-by.\n\nBut, if you believe in angels and demons, then the daredevil is close-by and the dog, can see him waiting for you!

They are very real. We as humans are only given 5 senses. Who is to say that there are other senses that exist but we just cannot utilize them or it is not within our powers? Dogs & Cats or other animals have heightened sense of sight & smell thus allowing them to detect the presence of the unknown before we do. \n\nRemember this, we are all spirits embodied in a human form. When we die we take our conscious and subconscious with us and go back as spirits again.  When we die suddenly, our spirits will be earthbound. Until we realize we are dead, we become ghost.

An optical illusion is characterized by visually perceived images that are deceptive or misleading [1]. Information gathered by the eye is processed by the brain to give a perception that does not tally with a physical measurement of the stimulus source. A conventional assumption is that there are physiological illusions that occur naturally and cognitive illusions that can be demonstrated by specific visual tricks that apparently show particular assumptions in the human perceptual system [2].\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_illusions\n\nHistory of Optical Illusions\n\nEpicharmus and Protagorus are the two people who invented optical illusions.  They lived around 450 B.C. and believed that our senses (seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, and touching) were not paying enough attention and were messing us up when we would look at something weird. Epicharmus said exactly “The mind sees and the mind hears. The rest is blind and deaf.” Protagorus didn’t believe that what Epicharmus said was true. He thought that our senses and bodies were fine. He believed it was our environment that was messing us up. His words were “Man is nothing but a bindle of sensations.” \n\n         Aristotle thought that both Epicharms and Protagorus were both right and wrong. Aristotle lived around 350 B.C. and said our senses can be trusted, but easily be fooled. \n\n         Plato, who lived around 300 B.C., said our five senses need our mind to help to understand what they see. What he is saying is that the eyes and mind need to work together. That is what most people think now.\n\n         It took a while for people to realize optical illusions again. Then in 1829 a psychologist named Johannes Mueller wrote two books about visual illusions. He was the first person to call distortions visual illusion. That is why most people knew what he was talking about in his books. Then in 1854 another psychologist named J.J. Oppel finished where Johannes Mueller left off. He made a paper that had 10 pages of line illusions. Nobody had seen one of them until J.J. had published it in the paper. As soon as the people saw them, they became very popular. Almost everyone liked it for a while. It was so popular that an illusion was made called the MuellerLyer illusions. Also 12 theories were made to explain it.\n\nhttp://www.tqnyc.org/NYC052034/History.htm

Deaf and blind people aren't tainted by all of these evil, unpleasant, mis-leading things that the rest of the world is bombarded with nearly every second of every day. Imagine how much more clear and unjaded the mind would be without hurtful words or disturbing visuals forced to be processed constantly.\n\nWe all have the ability to find spirituality within ourselves. The answers, and the paths. All societies are just so crudded with s*** that we aren't afforded the chance to do some true soul searching.\n\nThey will probably know "God", or whatever spiritual powers that may be, more than most any seeing or hearing man ever will.

Somatic senses are a series of senses put into groups such as touch, temperature, pain, and kinesthesia.
