But when I was talking to a friend about them, she asked me to take a photo of them, and I realized that they don't show up in pictures. So as long as I have my phone on me, I can kind of test whether something is really there. Feeling of accomplishment achieved.
Yeah the problem for me is typically the visuals were so integrated into the image and it's like my thinking was impaired enough that I didn't even think to test things at all. Even if a visual broke all the rules some delusion would just come up that we were no longer in the real world but in the spirit world or the dream world. But yeah they remain in focus if I don't have my glasses on and weird stuff like that so I could totally id them if I had a rational thought process at the time. But I'm glad the phone will work for you...I also use the record feature on Evernote to figure out the auditory because sometimes the neighbors actually are loud you know.
