IF A PSYCHOTIC PERSON EXPERIENCES HALLUCINATIONS THAT I CANT SEE, ARE THEY REAL FOR THAT PERSONS VIEW OF REALITY?

ARE MY DREAMS FAKE? NONE OF YOU HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED MY DREAMS, DOES THAT MAKE THEM NOT REAL?
it all comes down to your definition of \"real\"

-Existing objectively in the world regardless of subjectivity or conventions of thought or language. *
-Relating to, being, or having value reckoned by actual purchasing power: real income; real growth.
-Of, relating to, or being an image formed by light rays that converge in space. *
-Of, relating to, or being a real number. *
-Of or relating to stationary or fixed property, such as buildings or land. [/b]
since the AP isn't physical it can never fit easily into the definition of real. if i pop a 3/8 ounce of shrooms and see tiki men in the rocks off a 3 story balcony that doesn't make those tiki men real... well we have a problem here... those hallucinations were just chemicals reacting in my brain... what is pain but an interpretation of the brain? does that make all this pain is an illusion?

We barely remember what came before this precious moment,
Choosing to be here right now. Hold on, stay inside...
This body holding me, reminding me that I am not alone in
This body makes me feel eternal. All this pain is an illusion.[/b]
