Well my (psychic) grandmother would tell you that when you are ill the infection allows various other "realities" to show more visually than when you're well (we learn to shut these things out as children when people say "who do you mean?" as we point and garble-chat to people no-one else can see) because your life force has to sort of swell to fight the infection. Or something - she has a very logical and convincing way of putting it but i can't remember it all. But if it happens when you're drunk then it's not psychic ability because alcohol dampens the ability to see these things (which is why the countries with the highest (anecdotal) incidence of psychic abilities are also the most alcoholic - Scotland, Russia, Poland etc).

Do you know it isn't real when it happens, or does it overtake reality? It does happen to me, not as much as it used to and not only when i'm ill - usually when i'm overtired and, as gran would put it, my walls come down. She always told me not to worry too much about it and to remember that what ever we see, in whatever reality, is incidental to where we are looking at that particular moment in time, and NOT a message demanding attention. Esme obviously has it and refers lots to "gannah" - which is what my (late) mother called herself to the grandkids.

Bit odd, should have put this in "5 things we didn't know about you". LOL.
