[insideout]

When Im laying down in bed sometimes at night, it sounds like I am in a crowded room or like a subway. I can hear so many people talking. I can even focus in on certain conversations.
I know I am in my room alone, but I also know I can hear the voices.
I want to ask the question, if its possible I have tapped into another dimension.... but I realize that these are auditory hallucinations.
If I realize it's psychosis am I still crazy?

No your not crazy! Try not to think words like that about your self. I do know how you feel though, so many voices we are never alone. Wouldn't it be nice to have just a moment's piece. Try not to talk to them, it only makes you focus more on them. Makes us start to believe their real and we have to remember their not we are alone.

If you realize your bone is broken, should you walk on it? I am certifiably "crazy" because I have hallucinations. I realize that they are not real - I know very concretely that they are not real. However, I also know that they are symptoms of a mental illness, or a chemical imbalance if you like. I take my medication every day and it stops the hallucinations. Could I live with the hallucinations, knowing that they're not real? Probably. But why would I want to fight them all of the time when I can just be rid of them? I suggest a trip to the doctor and a good course of antipsychotic meds. If one doesn't work, or you don't like the side effects, try another. There are many to choose from and combine. Check http://www.crazymeds.org to see what we all take, and what to watch out for. I like Zyprexa and Abilify for hallucinations - I have tried them both and they both worked for me in a matter of days. You don't have to live with it, and you also don't need to be ashamed of being "mentally interesting" - I dare not call you crazy. Get the broken bone set and you will feel much better when you walk.

I don't think anyone here could possibly answer that question for you, nor would I expect that a professional could either. However, since it's in your experience and since it's your question, that suggests to me that you should do some explorations on your own to find your answers.

I'm not very knowledgeable in the area of quantum physics, parallel universes or string theory, but if you're looking for answers, those might be the areas where you can find them. You could get started here.
