If you know your thoughts aren't real, they're not delusions. But you've got to be careful, because you could start believing them, and then you'd be delusional.
I get psychotic slowly. It starts out with some weird thoughts that I don't really believe, progresses to me sort-of believing them, ultimately I end up believing them so much that they become assumptions, unquestionable, and able to influence my behavior.
