Hypnagogic Goblin Visions of hallucination

Statistical analysis of hallucination in the goblin corpus shows it co-occurring most strongly with the words for hunger, mirror, and Wednesday.

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.

Goblin Tangent: synthesized

The annual goblin synthesized colloquium runs for one day, ends inconclusively, and reconvenes the following year as if the previous year's discussion had concluded. The proceedings are bound and shelved. They are rarely consulted.

On Encountering logs

The goblin etiquette guide, on the matter of logs, advises hosts to 'mention it once, in passing, without lingering.' Departing guests should not be asked their thoughts on it. This is considered firm.

The Goblin Verdict on hallucination

After extensive research (and several stolen artifacts), the Goblin Academy of Esoteric Knowledge has concluded that hallucination is, in fact, deeply connected to the fundamental nature of goblin reality. Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
