Do you constantly sense things around you that you can’t see like spirits, aliens, spirit guides, animals?
I had that when I was little? maybe when I was 6, 7. about that age. grew out of it. I would also think someone was following me at that time.
I used to, not anymore.
At times. These days it’s either when I’m semi conscious and/or trying to fall asleep.
I like to imagine the reality that there is a consistent set of atoms bouncing around in the room. Nothing phasing in and out. No room for spirits or what not.
If I can’t keep my eyes closed I’ll stare at a wall.
I sense the invisible mind reading creatures as I’ve mentioned before and animals. Cats to be exact. I don’t know if this is a symptom or what, but they’re around me all the time.
That’s what a hallucination is. Sensing things that aren’t real.
But I can’t see them. Only sense them.
That should be even more clearly a hallucination to you.
I know it’s creepy and convincing.
One time a year ago I got stoned. Had to go home and hide in my room. Could sense what seemed to be my uncle walking around my room. Stopping and standing behind my chair. He’d start yelling if I paid attention to him.
Clearly wasn’t real though. It was brought on by the pot.
Can I ask you a few things? How do you sense them? Are they in front of you and invisible, or off to the side, or behind you?
How are you able to tell they are cats? Do they seem like cats from how they move, or sound, or do you just know they’re cats somehow?
Did you have cats at any point in your life, or do you now?
There are multiple spirits that side inside my mind’s image-peripheral. For the past three years I have been trying to purge all of the males out as they offer very little value when it comes to security & confidence of self.
I don’t believe in ghosts and all that crap. It’s even hard for me to sometimes believe in my own faith. I think it’s a sign of the illness that I am a believer. If it wasn’t for schizophrenia, I would probably be agnostic or an atheist. So maybe it’s a good thing I am sick.
But I would like to believe there is something special about consciousness. Maybe consciousness continues after we die. Maybe we spawn into a parallel universe.
I sense the creatures all around me watching and reading my mind. I sense the cat just walking around and following me. I do have a cat, but he stays outside only. I sense the cat inside the house.
