Why do you view yourself as insane? I'm curious. Having unorthodox beliefs which are not shared by a majority of people does not make one insane, legally or-- officially-- in the books of most therapists. (There are certainly some who will be happy to write you up for it, but theoretically, you're supposed to display other criteria besides unusual beliefs.)
I guess I honestly don't see why believing that 'fictional' stories could have happened in parallel universes, and that people from those universes could make mental contact with people in other universes, is any more strange, weird, or "off" than believing the son of God was born to a virgin 2000 years ago, that he came back to life after he was killed, and that he'll return to earth someday. Now, I'm not saying, by any means, that it's better to believe the former than the latter, or that believing the latter is stupid or wrong-- only that when taken out of context, both beliefs sound equally eccentric.
