So I'm looking in this rose colored notebook, when I notice various shadows crossing the page, as if the sun was shining through trees behind me with a light breeze blowing. These wavy patterns have a certain *sparkle* feel to them, which makes me suspect and then realize that the effect is a visual hallucination. I thought of this very group, and some of the valuable advice that's been given as to how to help recognize and manage hallucinations, and not get carried away by them. Thank you all, by the way! :) Indeed, although there are trees behind me outside the window, the window is at the wrong angle for the sun to shine through it, and also I verify that the wind isn't blowing at this time either. In other words, I am pleased with myself due to my awareness and control of the situation.

But then I realized that I don't own any rose colored notebook, and in reality never had anything at all in my hands in the first place! :O Although somewhat humorous (after all it's good to be able to laugh at ourselves sometimes ;) that was one of my more vivid hallucinations, especially since I was truly deluded by the whole sequence for a while, as if I was having a dream. Hopefully I'm fully in reality now, and not still hallucinating about something and just don't know it! :P

So, have you ever hallucinated about hallucinating? This reminds me of the movie "Inception" with its dreams within dreams, in which you wake up from one dream, but don’t realize you’re still dreaming within a nested dream.
