I wasn't afraid though I just noted my bird was awake and flapping rather than asleep when I was it sort of respawned an old delusion that she was my familiar and could filter the voices so we were psychically connected---but for that to be true everything I had learned since going on meds had to be wrong----pretty easy way to negate all that is pdoc is working against me and hey why not throw in the devil just for kicks

But for sure I did get delusions in response to tactile hallucinations---ie heart attack etc went to the ER---but the one with the mouse really was the only one I had that didn't involve a hallucination and to be fair it did require an auditory input the mouse trap.

I think there does have to be a stimulus in general its just usually something most people consider meaningless. A plane might fly over or whatever, but something, just not always a hallucination I think. I have to admit I know a lot less about delusions though they just aren't well studied and I was so unaware of them at the time that everything I know is based on memory/hindsight.
