The request itself - realistic.  Getting a positive response to the request - nigh impossible.

Seriously! I mean, is that really an unrealistic request?

If only I'd had more women jump into bed with me when I wasn't looking.

I'm glad it does =) The more everyone understands about schizophrenia, the less of a stigma there'll be with the disease.

Thankfully, I've never had visual hallucinations. At least not that I'm aware of. It's possible that the spider I see crawling up my wall isn't real, but it's hard to tell. There have been times when the spider is suddenly gone when I turn my back for a few seconds, but that's just the nature of spiders; they jump in bed with you when you're not looking.

Uni,
Great descriptions...the whole crowded room scenario does enable me to have a better understanding...=)

Do you ever actually see the hallucinations?  Or is it just voices?  I'm quite curious.
