I believe people with bipolar experience their symptoms of delusion through various senses. Some see colors, others hear sounds, others feel sensations very strongly (like cannot shower), I don't know about smell.

For me, it is psychic more then visual, although I have had a number of visuals. I have heard things a couple of times. A woman singing opera, a sentence.

I believe our experiences can be similar because the brain is being stimulated, and we interpret the stimulation into something we can understand.

Another theory that I have is that we are all psychically connected, and we are actually hearing, or seeing, or sensing something. But with this knowledge, comes the responsibility to ignore it and travel through the part of life that we can participate in and affect. Which is the seeing/touching part. The part the 'normies' call real.

I would say - explore your various situations, because similar situations will probably come back to you in years - but try not to let these things interfere in how you interact with the world you can touch.
