For me if I "hear" something or "see" something it is very, very real to me during the time that it is happening. There have been things that I "saw" or "heard" years ago that I have just realized in the last year that I was wrong about. I know that now but it has always been "REAL" to me. I constantly second guess myself on everything for fear that I could possibly be wrong again.

I will even ask my kids if they see it or hear it to make sure that I'm not the only one experiencing whatever it is.

That's very sad isn't it....
