Shadow Peephole

[SyberBitch]

I have never seen them until I was diagnosed as delusional and they have gone away since getting medication and treatment so I have no doubt they weren't paranormal in nature.
I have heard of the general "shadow people" thing before but I've always put them down to non-paranormal origins, tricks of the light/shadow, the brain misreading visual stimulus etc.

You didn't see them until after your diagnosis? That's pretty wild. Did they ever actually talk to you? If so, what kind of things would they say?

I think it would be a lot creepier to see people you actually thought were 'real'.

The people we see in dreams seem 'real' enough, and to our mind, they are independent people who we do not control, even though they are complete creations of our own brain. I've had dreams, for instance, where I would meet someone who was singing and playing some new piece of music and I would wake up thinking "I wish I could create music like that", when in fact I DID, it just isn't something I can call on at any given time.

Heck, I think it would be great to have a link to the subconscious you could ask questions of. What a great resource that could be! I guess the problem would be in trying to control it. You always hear about psychotics who hear voices telling them to do horrible things. I wonder if there are 'psychotics' who hear voices telling them to do great things? Create masterpieces? Help humankind?
