@RationalizedInsanity as somebody very low in schizotypy, I have vivid memories of a few times that e.g. dreams and reality got confused and things like that, even 20+ years later. it really stands out. I can't imagine how deeply it would affect my entire existence if this happened to me more than a couple times a decade.

@deutrino I will basically get hit by memories so powerful i am basically there.

I can walk through it and see things I didn't remember if I thought about it normally.

It's like I have two sets of mind eyes.

One for the general point who is far sighted, and one who is near sighted and I can look extra close and pick out the small details.

If I am stressed I get them wrong.

@RationalizedInsanity I have a good friend who is very high in schizotypy (diagnosed with STPD) and it seems woven into her experience of religion. and at this point in my life, who am I to argue when she says God is up to this or that? I have my doubts but maybe she's right and I just don't perceive it.

many people on the spectrum swear that they can hear or sense electromagnetism, while I could sleep like a baby in the middle of a data center because I'm completely numb to it. shrug_akko

@deutrino I can imagine things so vividly it is like I am there again.

If I am stressed or in pain I remember it differently as emotions corrupt the picture.

I remember correctly once I have calmed down and can regain logic.

If I never calm down, I never regain logical thinking to see the correct picture.
