Do you truly understand the power of the human brain?

After I woke up from my coma after an accident, I didn't know what was a hallucination or reality. I once thought I was abducted and called 911 on the hospital staff. I also thought I was in different places in the hospital; but never left my room. I was in 24 hour watch as I was a fall risk, because I fell in the ICU, when I was hallucinating and got out of bed.

The brain can play tricks on you and make you believe what is not true. It scares me to death now.

It sounds like you a really had a really bad accident. I'm very familiar with the power of the human brain as I am a neuro opsychologist and I have heard stories like this from patients before and have also seen people who were apparently in the middle of both auditory and visual hallucinations. Luckily as you experienced, there is usually complete recovery. I hope you are feeling better now. What you described is relatively rare and probably will never happen to you again. Best wishes to you.

Thanks! I hope not.

Only a little. I've heard we "hallucinate" into existence. Our brain is amazing, how it's divided into two parts that communicate and interpret everything we experience and remember it.

I watched videos on brain injuries and it was fascinating to see what happens when left or right isn't there. you sound like you had impact to left brain, as right was working. or mayhbe the right was still mixed up.

Because your brain tricked you, you think that is brain power? Lmao

[dudeinohio]

Of course. The brain is so powerful that it makes you believe and see what is not true.

That's scary. I hope you find the grounding you need to keep your bearings. You're describing one of my biggest fears

[NathanDavis]

but that's very easy for the brain... to trick the mind, that's actually its job, lol

And to think that people actually take drugs that do the same thing.
