I have been in the ICU and can relate to the hallucinations. During one intense round, I was convinced the hospital wasn't real, and that I needed to leave immediately. My IV was preventing me from leaving, and I couldn't have that. So of course I ripped it out and tried my best to leave. The staff wasn't having it.

You thought it wasn’t real as in you though everyone was an actor in a fake hospital building or you thought you were in a whole nother plane of existence?

  Interesting question ... plane of existence. I was hearing voices that convinced me I was not where I thought I was, it was an illusion of sorts and it was best to leave. Immediately. For reasons unclear to me.

    I mean where did you even expect to go if you were inside an illusion? Another illusion?

      At the time, when you are hallucinating, whatever they are saying to you is the "truth". May give an insight into schizophrenia or anything else.
