I have lucid dreams. They are often recurring dreams, very vivid, and I can work on them over a number of nights.

I do not have a diagnosis of psychosis or schizophrenia, although I did have postpartum psychosis in my late 30s. I didn't have harmful feelings toward the baby, just vivid hallucinations. I also had very vivid hallucinations as an adolescent. It was like watching a movie while awake, like just sort of 'blanking out' and seeing some other scene in some other place.

My dreams often bleed into reality in weird ways that are not hallucinations but make you wonder WTF.

I think that life is a lot more mysterious than we think it is, and that life itself is a lot like a dream. You don't remember it starting, you're just in it all of a sudden. You take on faith that you were born, but you don't recall that. Dreams are like that too.
