Good vibrations or insanity?

This seems kind of strange........ even to me ;-)................ but I seem to have developed another 'sense'.
It all started when I was trying to perfect my altissimo and I heard people suggest that you imagine the notes 'coming out the top of your head'
Well that along with voicing certain sounds has certainly helped me in that respect.
I was having trouble with my newer clarinets in replicating the clarion A sound that I like but seem to have found that if I can feel it on my upper right molar, it comes out exactly the way I want every time.
What is even stranger is that I can now feel these vibrations when I am listening to other people playing.
I remember having fun bouncing sounds off objects when I was younger but never experienced it off my own body.
Does anyone else do the same thing or is it time for a strait jacket and a check up from the neck up?
