I feel like the title is worded really bad, but I seem to be unable to find a better way. I am not a native speaker. Scenario A: A character is in an exceptional state of mind (i.e. drug use etc.) and envisions vivid imagery, sounds, smell etc. Scenario B: The same character later encounters typical fantasy events - let's say a monster. How would you advise to differentiate between the two, if you cannot show the actual drug use? In my example the drug is administered while the character is unaware of it. In a mundane story we could let the reader decide which events are plausible and which are not. But in a fantasy story, where it is not exactly known to the reader, what is possible and what is not?
