YES YES YES THIS. I actually think I have some sort of position-related synesthesia (e.g. that for me dates are positions on an oval), but it's very 2d and I struggle with 3d stuff.
I've been known not to recognize a place I'm extremely familiar with, when approaching it from the direction opposite that which I usually take.
I totally hear you about this one, or rather - I sort of have an internal sense of orientation and if that starts being at odds with itself or with the actual direction we are going in things get extremely confusing. I frequently cannot recognise anything upon returning somewhere if I orient it differently that time around.
