I My closest relatives have been replaced by impostors. I I am dead. I I am being followed around by people who are known to me but who are unrecognizable because they are in disguise. I The person I see in the mirror is not really me. I A person I knew who died is nevertheless in the hospital ward today. I This arm [the speaker’s left arm] is not mine it is yours; you have three arms. I Someone else is able to control my actions. I Someone else’s thoughts are being inserted into my mind.
