I am bipolar and I have more then my share of stays in the psych ward. Trying to explain weird thoughts, intuitions and insights is a longstanding hobby of mine. One of my experiences is a conversation I held silently over a game of ping pong. I did not speak but my partner a stranger answered my thoughts. I only returned well or scored a point when I thought new and creative thoughts and mentally mapped them over the shots I took. If the ideas where good I was rewarded with a good return sometimes a point.
My opponent seemed to read my mind and rewarded me when I the idea in my head directed my shots well. As I played a conversation in my head followed the game. As I was clever spontaneous and original as I played a return or serve I was rewarded with an answer in how the ball was returned to me. When my brain coughed up an idea I sent a burst of thought with the ball. Bouncing back ideas I was rewarded with insights. I played silent listening thinking furiously.
I may be completely delusional and everything may have been made up in my head but the game, it was real. The score was tangible unlike something completely in my head I kept receiving reinforcement for intelligent thought I wove my thoughts though reality and fantasy as I hit the ball and I played the game by these rules made up in fantasy touching weaving reinforcing my thoughts only marginally in the real world.
While in the end I lost, it seemed my thinking about nature, telepathy affected reality though my actions and the spin of the ball.
