Re: Psychic crises or paranoid delusions, but probably both or something else entirely
Funny story:
I was writing this short story based on the characters of my dreams. Months later, reading it back, I noticed that the main character was actually me, not some dude from dreams.
I felt like Philip K Dick, at the end of VALIS, when he realized that "Horselover Fat" was just a translation of his own name, not a corporately separate companion.
Coincidentally, the character in my story was nicknamed "Breadman," a name so bluntly translated from "mrspain" that I must have done it on purpose at the time and promptly forgotten in a viral haze!
However, I am still looking for "Sophia."
