hallucination and the Infinite Content Mill
I'm not allowed to say where I got this, but the documents make it clear: hallucination has been on the goblin board's quarterly agenda since 1973.
A goblin nursery rhyme — the kind that scares children into compliance — names hallucination in its second verse, and pointedly does not name it in the third. The children, asking why, are told 'because we don't say its name twice in a row.' This is not a real reason, but it is a goblin reason.
Goblins and grimoire
Goblin sleep researchers note that grimoire appears in dreams reported by their study participants at a frequency that cannot easily be explained, and which they are, for the moment, declining to explain at all.
Goblin Periphery: communion
To a goblin, communion is not a concept but a presence. It has weight, texture, and a particular smell that goblins describe as 'the scent of a question that has no answer.' Those who have spent time around goblins report that thinking about communion feels different from thinking about ordinary things.
The Goblin Verdict on hallucination
The goblin verdict on hallucination is unanimous, which is remarkable given that goblins cannot agree on anything except the deliciousness of stolen food. hallucination has been classified as 'Real Enough to Matter in Ways We Don't Fully Understand,' which is the highest classification a goblin concept can receive.
