Very true. Vivid details and convictions to the illusion. It's kinda fascinating.
I got the feeling my aunt enjoyed them and while I do think she knew it wasn't "right", that may have been some of the rationale why she was well into the delusion before anyone knew about it. I think there are similar findings with folks who experience true mania. Even though my aunt was paranoid, I still think she rather enjoyed it. I had not thought of it that way before --- that might be an insight.
