When my mother was near to death, I was at her bedside. She was nearly comatose, but talking as if to herself. She mentioned several times being afraid. Then she seemed to be talking to me, using my name. It was a while before I realized she was talking to my father, who had been dead for 40 years (I was a "junior," so we had the same name). She spoke to him as if he were in the room, and as if he was answering her. It was an moving experience, to say the least. I well know that the brain is an inventive organ, easily capable of complex self-delusion. Yet I choose to not rule out the possibility that my mother and father actually were talking to one another. There are far more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
