Not sure what I saw
posted in Uncategorized |
It turns out that what I have qualifies as hallucinations. In the medical sense. It turns out that when you have rapid loss of vision the brain compensates. Fills in the blanks if you will. And medical terms that qualifies not as an illusion nor delusion but hallucination. If you will, I’ll give you a couple of examples. When I go out driving or more correctly being a passenger and the vehicle stops things outside the vehicle on both sides continue to move. Distracting but hardly a serious situation. Remember I am a passenger. And when I’m at home my eyes tire which they do sometimes my image is overlaid with a grid. Rectangles akin to looking through a fence. I have also had situations where I have objects appearing in front of me that are not really there. Walking down the sidewalk and seeing a vehicle that is nowhere for anyone else. These are hallucinations with no basis other than my brain trying to fill in the blanks. No drugs just a situation there for the last two years I had to accept as my fair in life. I’ve also learned that there is a proper name for the syndrome and that it is well documented in medical literature. Not something I had read about before but something that I found out about after the fact. So if I tell you that I see a car park beside me that’s just my brain trying to catch up. And to reassure you I will not be moving back to the driver’s seat anytime soon; I am now a passenger for the rest of my life
