I just realized I don`t anymore.. at least not 100% of the time... too often have I seen, smelled, heard and just generally noticed things that aren`t there. It`s not due to any substances either, but I know I have migraines, which often is the cause of these `hallucinations,` so sometimes I just don`t trust what I sense, and have to ask others if it really is there (I just did once more, and it turned out no-one else could smell vanilla). I`m not becoming a skeptic or anything, nor do I ask if you are, but do you feel your senses are reliable, and both in the case of `no` or `yes`: why? |

mastah: have you gotten your head checked out? Honestly, these types of olfactory hallucinations and migraines can be a warning sign for larger issues... dont mean to scare ya, just wanted to check. |

Khonnor just called you a mental. |

No I didn't! If you insist, I'm talking about brain cancer/tumors! |

oh, I haven`t had any sympotms that suggest anything but migraines, and I`ve had migraines my whole life,and generally know how they feel. I think the first post may give the impression I see things all the time, but it`s more whenever I get stressed or have too much sugar, both of which trigger my migraines... oddly enough, I`ve never had it triggered by caffeine, as is normal, but.. yeah, I`m sure it`s nothing more serious than migraines. I also have long periods with nothing migraine-related happening, but I`ve had some stress lately, and sometimes I get weird smells or small blips of things... |

|
|
Most of the time, yes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
in all, it`s enough to make me question the appearances of certain things. smell is the most common, and it doesn`t even have to have the rest of the migraine (the classic pain and vomit) follow it.. with hallucinations, it`s more `the full thing` |

|
|
have you ever suffered from epilepsy? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok.. what about the times that aren`t `mostof the time?` why don`t you trust them then? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no. fuck, this isn`t supposed to be about me.. I know it`s only migraines, and apart from when I get migraines, I`m ok. thanks for worrying, though, guys. <3!!! now, do you trust your senses? |
||||||||
|

my senses tell me that i am completely fucked for cash. |

like, if i'm inebriated or having a panic attack or something then it's pretty safe to assume that my senses aren't as sharp as they could be. but, i don't think i'm delusional nor do i suffer from hallucinations (that i know of), so to trust my senses seems to be pretty logical. they seem to approximate reality rather well so far... i mean, they seem to be correct more than they're wrong anyhow. |
||||||||
|
|

|

yeah, you probably don`t have any reasons to distrust them, which is good. and I can assure you that if you meant to write like, if i'm inebriated or having a panic attack or something then it's pretty safe to assume that my senses aren't as sharp as they could be. but, i don't think i'm delusional nor do i suffer from hallucinations (that i know of), so to trust my senses seems to be pretty logical. they seem to approximate reality rather well so far... i mean, they seem to be correct more than they're wrong anyhow. you`re not delusional. |

res extensa. descartes has nothing to do with this. I don`t distrust everything I experience.. only when I feel there`s something wrong.. unfortunately, some times I have been a bit too paranoid, and thought things that are there aren`t really there.. this is rare, though. |

i know i was just seing if i remebered it lol think i said it wrong anyhow |
||||||||

|

while i depend on the apparent stability, coherence and predictability of what i derive from my senses, i'm aware that i manufacture what i call "my senses" from an extremely limited set of data input. the awareness that the apparently objective world around me possesses only features which i have assigned to it means i know my senses can't be trusted. luckily, most people agree with me about the features that seem stable, coherent and predictable, so i can go on with the illusion without much trouble. does anybody really read this stuff? |

i had a friend who took acid once and for a year he thought he was in one trip he believed he could stop restart time and shit which was pretty fucked up he had to have councilling wierd thing was he sometimes knew what would happen before it did freaky matrix shiit |

a human on acid is a monkey in a ufo. |
||||||||
|

wierd thing was he sometimes knew what would happen before it did i'm curious now. more details please. |

saem |

|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
same as in more freaky deatails |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
In short, no I don't. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oddly enough, i do trust my senses... because when it smells like shit, there's shit! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i never smelled any shit that i didn't smell. interesting viewpoint... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
though, i have smelt non-shitish objects that clearly smelt of shit. ^ true story. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe he just did that `it happened like that before, so it will most likely happen like that again` thing... like, `that guy sucks at driving, and so does the guy coming down that other street. they will most likely crash` other than that.. weird. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i do |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Of course not. Flashes of light, singing dead kids and ghost people are like par the course. But I think it's pretty weird that you can taste and smell things that aren't there, that's something that would creep me out. |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i generally do, although sometimes i think i see something moving or flying by out of the corner of my eye, and when i turn around to see what it was, it was nothing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
omg you're a nutcase! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that or i have a brain tumor. oh boy! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
when i was a kid i heard silly and strange voices occassionally calling my name. or my sister talked for a few sentences in my father's voice, or a kindergartenfriend talked in my sisters voice and so on. i do trust my senses, though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
weeee! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah.. I know... I should be used to it by now, but it still makes me go `what the fuck?` |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't know whether I would fully trust my senses but the times when I have wrongly ignored my senses really stick out more in my mind rather then the times when they have led me wrong. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I thinks it's silly to trust your own senses or judgment |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
when i was a little boy i saw a dwarf... i was/am so sure i saw one... i even said "hello".. and he waved.. and i saw a ghost once... i trust my senses... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think you're silly. |
||||||||
|

your sense can do no wrong, it's all your brain's fault! serioulsly, your eye can only catch light... but the brain interpret it, and there can be problems at that stage... most of the time if you know well the mechanisms you can know that it's not "right", most people never notice anything weird, appart from seeing things, which can be atributed to day-dreaming of sort most of the time, again it's your brain not your eyes, and because of that you can be aware of it... so, yea, i trust my sense 100% but i don't trust my faulty, drug fueled brain :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, as your brain is required for your senses to make sense, it would be part of your senses imo. |
