Life's more fun with Brain Damage.

I have this weird desire to hallucinate. Now, mind you, I'm not talking the kind of hallucination that you get from drugs. It's too... Illegal for my tastes. No, I'd like the kind of hallucinations that come from minor brain damage. To give an example I cite a show I once saw.

The concept of the show more or less went like this: Kid goes to "Disney"land and gets hit by a train. The "Disney" employees take him to the secret hidden underground hospital. No one can ever die at "Disney"land. They simply won't have it. But the kid's situation is serious, they are running out of options. The head doctor decides that the only way to save the kid is to transplant the frozen brain of "Walt Disney" into the kids brain. I'm guessing they only put in part of "Disney's" brain because he still had all his own thoughts and memories. There was simply one caveat to the whole ordeal. He could see and talk to all the "Disney" characters. They freely roamed around 3d space while being 2D themselves. No one but him could see or hear them and they often gave the illusion that they were interacting with real stuff when really they weren't. (I put "Disney" in quotes because it was a Disney proxy that they used in the show.)

I think that THIS form of hallucinating would be cool to have. But have it extend to more than just cartoon characters. I present to you the following situation...

I'm sitting in the doctors office waiting. (everything in stars is hallucinated) *The door opens and Dr. House walks in. "So, What's wrong with you?* "Nothing" *"I think it's Lupus."* "it's not Lupus" *"Cancer?"* "No" *"Any unknown tumors?"* "I'm here for a check up House, Not because I'm Dieing." *"You should be dieing. It'd make things more interesting."* Door opens and real doctor walks in. *"Well, looks like you've been saved by this quack." (I glare at him and use "Psychic powers" to communicate. After all, he's a hallucination in my brain) *"House, Get!" "Fine, Tell me if you die." House limps out*

I think that'd be an interesting existence. Of course there would potentially be problems. As sane as I would appear (I've been pulling off this whole "sane" thing for 18 years and counting.), I'd still technically be brain damaged and probably want to avoid operating heavy machinery. I'd also have to take everything I see and hear with a grain of salt because I would never know if what I'm seeing is real or fiction. However, the ideal situation would not have those problems. I would go my entire day having secret mental conversations with visual extensions of my own personality. It'd make my day AT LEAST 20% cooler. Give or take. Just a thought... BTW: Don't do drugs. They give you the bad kind of brain damage. Also, don't do anything that could give you brain damage. That's also bad. Don't do it.

That is all.
