You should stop seeing it as a disease and start seeing it as a gifted potential.
In the martial arts world, meditation is used to raise awareness and focus and to help plan ahead fight scenarios in a meditative state. It took me a while to figure out that more experienced "masters" usually are able to dream lucid in their medidative state.
It helped me a _lot_ when I was younger. The perceived social influences still cannot be blocked out sometimes when I'm not well but at least I am not freaking out anymore when there's an untidy object in the room.
