I thought I'd share the following with ya, and hope ya take it as = funny.. it sure tickled me. Periodically a friend's 16 year old daughter comes over to do some = heavy-duty typing for me. She was here when your message about hallucinating was received. She asked me about PD as she was in total ignorance of the disease. I read her your comment about your hallucinations and she = said, " Well, maybe everybody's wrong. Maybe he ISN'T having hallucinations... = He could just be seeing space ALIENS! MAYBE when someone has Parkinson's = that lets aliens suddenly be visible. They should TALK to them and see if = they answer!" <grinning> So... the NEXT time ya have a hallucination, just give 'em a great big "howdy!" And consider yourself amongst the fortunate few. <smile> I think there's a lot more sense in this than might first appear. =20 Hallucinations if allowed to "happen" can give invaluable insight into = our unconscious minds. After all that's what much of the drug taking in = the 60's was about - Timothy Leary etc exploring the spiritual = dimension. Fear of the unknown and fear of being out of control are of = course the big things that comes up for most of us. =20 I personally would love hallucinations as a major effect or as a side = effect - but I just don't get that lucky!!
