I referred to them as 'hallucinations' not because I doubted their reality, but because someone who had experienced them a lot (Emanuel Swedenborg) had referred to them as hallucinations. It's true that the term is misleading, but in a sense, hallucinations are kind of real. If they are happening, then they have some realness to them.

We say 'hallucinations' because we think we can make a distinction between real and unreal, but we actually can't.

Anyway, I didn't mean to refer to them as 'hallucinations' meaning they weren't real - I do believe they are real.

In fact, I'll change the name of the thread...
