"Hughlings Jackson coined the term mental diplopia to
describe, in the dreamy state of partial complex seizures: ‘The patient recognised his “recollections” as different from normal memories, being much more vivid and more “satisfactory”, but, at the same time, was dimly aware of their fictitious character, indicating some pres- ervation of consciousness, thus resulting in the “mental diplopia” characteristic of the dreamy state’ [2]."

I'd never heard this

I'm still processing a particularly bad period that involved a postictal psychotic episode

it is good to hear this info
it's still hard to process

I found a paper online:
Postictal Mania versus Postictal Psychosis: Differences in Clinical Features, Epileptogenic Zone, and Brain Functional Changes during Postictal Period
