      The following is mere speculation.

      Schizophrenia can cause one to impose imaginary characters and experiences into the fabric of the real world. Anti-psychotic drugs used to moderate Schizophrenia can include ones that block the receptors of the neurotransmitter dopamine. Thus, it is assumed that too much dopamine is directly/indirectly causing the external visions. Likewise, with Lucid Dreams, an increase in dopamine is thought to increase the visuals, and allow the dreamer profound control.

      Possible correlation?

      I'm not implying that you have Schizophrenia; however, are you literally referring to external visions on par with reality?
