Hi all
I was just wondering what your psychotic delusions were like.
Did you have delusions of reference. Like thinking the tv is sending you messages, or did you have - like me - certain words in books were omens warning of some horrible affliction.
My worst episode was tons of fireworks going off all at once everywhere around me and the dog barking downstairs in conjunction with them creating a sense of terror and doom and gloom that built up weeks before.
It would be interesting to know what others have experienced.
Peace out
I used to have dreams that were so vivid and realistic that I didn't know I wasn't awake. I feared something terrible would happen in these dreams, and, because of the fear, I stayed awake as long as I could and frequently suffered sleep deprivation. I got to where I would fall asleep during the day, and I never knew when I was going to have one of those scary dreams. I heard voices telling me I was going to die in the dreams. I heard the dreams tell me that God didn't love me. Sometimes I even heard people in the dreams scream obscenities at God. I could also feel heat, like something was trying to drag me to some kind of eternal inferno. I could also hear my own thoughts screaming at me as loudly as voices outside in these dreams. I thought I was going crazy, like maybe spirits from another world were trying to communicate with me.
I remember one such dream. I woke up in my room, and everything on the side of the room at which I was looking appeared normal. I saw my bed, my wall, and a few items on the floor, but then I turned around, where the floor should have been, I saw a huge gaping cavern pit that looked like it went on for miles. I freaked out, turned to the normal side of the room, and prayed to wake up.
