Those who suffer from hallucinations generally know that the hallucination
is one even when they cannot resist having it. Friends who suffer from
"voices" speak fairly casually of attempts to ignore them. They never
believe that the "voices" are "out there." I asked one woman just
the other day what her voices told her. She replied that it was always
fairly confusing <g> but that generally they commented on her
character or behavior. This does not really seem to bear much
resemblance to responses to brands.
