Can no one spell? It is ADVICE not "advise." Unless the sentence is restructured to say give advisement....

Do I call YOU names?

Hmmm I don’t think I called you a name. Can you explain?

Pre-hyperthermia does that. Was in a team where one guy started talking to an invisible person. We sheltered and he was airlifted.
iExplainTheJoke
I didn't realize fevers could cause it but it does cook your brain so I guess it makes sense
Naramumu
Lack of oxygen mostly.
Hivju
It mostly occur with climbers, but the second most common group is sailors, third most common group is supposedly polar explorers.

Another voice in your head other than your inner monologue is actually not as rare as one would think.

Being at the point of extreme exhaustion causes WILD hallucinations. It’s truly something to experience

JericoJones23
Does this have to do with the Doppelgänger myth of Germanic and Norse people? Sounds awfully similar. Cool beans!
aPinchofMensch
More like you're mountain hiking and at a point of extreme exhaustion and delirium, you imagine another hiker or disembodied voice -
aPinchofMensch
- behind you, pushing you on, providing information, etc.

You. The situation is told by the story teller (1st person) to the listener (you, which is 2nd person) about a 3rd person shows up.

God the physics in that game are so satisfying. I spent so long on that starting balcony screwing around. I even managed to actually juggle.

Is this the thing where in survival situations your mind pretends there's another person who reminds you of what you know but forgot.
Idonotkillpeoplethatismyleastfavoritethingtodo
I don't know if it's the same thing but as a teenager I tried staying awake for 72 hours and after 60 I started seeing things.
AlwaysInTheshadows
I'd say it's more the lack of oxygen. Hypoxia is a hell of mind altering drug.
Feralkyn
I've had it happen to me when I was really, really sick before. I wasn't hypoxic but I had a hell of a fever and legit just heard like, a
Feralkyn
very calm/logical voice in my own head tell me to get into the shower. It's ofc one's own subconscious but it's crazy how disconnected it
Feralkyn
can seem, like a backup system booting up. (The shower helped a LOT btw.)
Telleryn
Yeah a bit like how some things that make you hear voices are thought to work, your brain has a thought but forgets that it thought it
Telleryn
so assumes someone else must've thought it, which is obviously quite confusing
Eramik
That's because brain doesn't brain logically

It’s more like you are so out of it that you stop recognizing your own thoughts as internal. Exhaustion does weird shit to the brain.

Or in my honest opinion. Sleep for 8hours. wake up. sleep for another 2 and really listen to your dreams. ^^

Probably how religion started in our brains.
zFUBARz
Before water quality, beer/mead/wine/etc was pretty much the norm to avoid bacteria. They were all drunk as fuck.
waitwuh
religion may be a mechanism to deal with our own higher intelligence and awareness of death, look up the god helmet experiments.
Dagordae
Mostly. That and drugs. It’s pretty well established that the assorted prophets(That we have info about) tended to come to their revelations
Dagordae
After or during experiences that cause severe hallucinations. And a LOT of traditional religious practices revolve around creating those
Dagordae
Same circumstances. Severe deprivation, exposure, and other such trials being considered holy is extremely common worldwide, historically if
