Interesting. Also, “At times my siser has had scary hallucinations,” I really have to wonder how much like a waking dream, nightmare (daymare?), that is. Can you ask her, does she dream at night that she can remember, and further, are the dreams like the hallucinations, or do each (the dreams and the hallucinations) have qualities that make them distinct from one another and she can tell the difference?
I’ve never thought of asking her that question!!! Next time I see her I’ll try to ask her about that.
She does continue to have hallucinations. However, (with medication) she’s able to better tune them out and function in real life.
“A Beautiful Mind” did an excellent job of showing what it it’s like to succumb to schizophrenia, and how medication can help (but not necessaruily cure) the disease.
