This strikes a chord. It seems some of us experience like a temporary state of schizophrenia before falling asleep or when waking. It is quite unsettling. I am fine when I am awake. I am fine when I am asleep. But occasionally as I am waking up or falling asleep things seem different. It's like a radio is on at a low frequency. I can slightly hear conversations. It makes me wonder if we become more receptive to abnormal phenomena when we are in this liminal state. Imagine hearing loud voices 24/7? I am glad it is very isolated and controllable otherwise I might be pretty freaked out. Do you think people who suffer from schizophrenia are actually hearing things others can't hear, or are they merely hallucinating and the voices come from a brain disorder? Or both? I think abnormal psychology can reveal a great deal about the psyche and even metaphysics. If someone can hallucinate their reality, what's to say we are not doing the same thing in a different fashion (like the matrix). Maybe we are all deluded and hallucinating at all times. Maybe we are imagining this contact in a vivid manner. Woah. Who knows? I like to think I exist. I hope you do as well. But I can't be completely certain. What do you think? What does our normal bedtime hallucinations say about humans as well as their reality? Very interesting to be sure.
