Lurking since my deconversion, finally posting
#9
RE: Lurking since my deconversion, finally posting
There's the quite secular possibility it might be flashbacks (recalling an event/image/feeling, PTSD for instance), hyperimagination (experiencing new data as real events/images/feelings), hyperreality (inability of consciousness to distinguish reality from a simulation of reality, watching linked video should give a good example), and conspiratorial misinterpretation Smile Yes, 'craziness' is quite likely... but to sum up very individual diagnosis under such a broad label would not be doing justice to the reality of the disorder(s) they may possess.

Course, there's also the simpler solution that they are a compulsive liar, but you don't want to hear that Tongue

(Edit: My bad, thought it was the whole movie. It shines in its second half. Psychological horror.)\

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
