Delusions and hallucinations so complex and believable

I’ve had delusions and hallucinations so complex and believable that I start to doubt that my mind could make it all up, that instead I’ve been in contact with another dimension or something. Anyone else have felt the same way?

Or maybe the mind is just more capable of these things that I think.

Unmedicated I had hallucinations about telepathy and being on the astral plane when I’m asleep. It all stopped once I became medicated.

Yes. I believe in parallel realities/universes, as that seems to be the best explanation for some of my experiences.

I believe that some delusions, like telepathy, are real. Other ones, probably not so much. My therapist says I should look at what is real and what is just my mind making things up and try to tell the difference. It’s just difficult for me

I’ve experienced extreme pain with hallucinations, delusions, and voices at times. Because I believed it was entirely real. On the otherhand i’ve also experienced beauties that seemed communications from other realms. I still don’t know what to think or make of it all. Can they be a guide into understanding a deeper reality? Or does it need to be any deeper than that? Once you have your other senses returned? Certainly makes me question and be more open to other ideas. Though no doubt depending on personal vulnerabilities i’d want to tread carefully. Don’t know if I’m allowed to refer to Rupert Sheldrake. But there are some interesting ideas about what reality is doing or can do. Though some call it pseudoscience but thats with a supposedly nonmaterialist paradigm. But I think Sheldrake does use scientific principles to his theories. I don’t know I read a view from nowhere by Thomas Nagel and suggested on a fundamental level certainty is lacking in Science, and objectivity is hard to come by. Wish I could refer to the physics books ive read that made me feel more open to asking what the heck we are truly living. But I’ve lost the books. And my memory has become slightly deadened - lost. Weird world.

My voices told me, You couldn’t have made all that up, no one is that smart. Taking a close look at it it is not that smart after all. Pretty clever though.
