passthru, I think this thread needs someone to inject some thought to provide a counterpoint to Strange_Famous. Tag, you're it.

The Purgatory idea sounds pretty interesting to me--and Jazz, I think your standards are right on the money.
As for hallucinations, I've had a few. The first time I hallucinated, I had a terrible fever, over 104 degrees, because of a case of scarlet fever. I was so, so, sooo hot and out of it that I felt like I wasn't in myself, but over myself, looking at myself in my parents' bed. It was a very strange perspective shift I've never experienced since.
In terms of other kinds of hallucinations, using other mechanisms, they usually seem to start with tracers, and evolve from there. They usually don't start out with a full-blown presence of a fictional character like the Cookie Monster.
