I am aware that the hallucinations are my mind going awry. Sometimes they have been intense to the point that, it's no matter, I'll still feel a sense of dread.

Regarding disassociation, I have felt that in regards to my physical body. Like I'm just a passenger in a seat watching my body pilot itself throughout the day. Weird stuff!
