The absence of credible explanations led people to rely on two types of themes of how to make sense of their experiences. Theme one was \u2018Unconvincing but acceptable\u2019 appraisals\u2014such as visions were internally generated in some way, perhaps owing to poor sleep or stress. These were unconvincing as they did not account for the complexity and life\u2010like reality of visions. Theme two was \u2018Convincing but unacceptable\u2019 appraisals. These were typically threat\u2010based interpretations\u2014such as \u2018It's real\u2019 or \u2018It's here to harm\u2019. These appraisals were often more believable, yet incurred higher levels of distress. Appraisals were not static. They changed in response to dynamic factors such as the presence of visions and the participants' emotional state.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Participants described a need to understand why they see visions.
