Lurking since my deconversion, finally posting

The thing is to be able to distinguish what's real and what's not. Some of my friends have had pretty freaky hallucinations due to different medical conditions, but they told me that they learned pretty fast to know what war real and what was not. But it didn't make the hallucinations less scary. I know that the 'monsters' that frequented their minds weren't real, since I was sometimes around when they were hallucinating and I never saw anything.

That definitely makes sense. Maybe I'm just overthinking it because I've always had an interest in psychic stuff, and it reminds me a little of that.
