It's quite common. There are two types - the full house one with 4k video (the one I got) and a more sublte one linked to brain rather than peripheral - with particular types of smell preceding a fit and for having a tumor. I had two smell related dream during Phase Delirium - both woke me up instantly (one related to a food smell) and the other was familier but I couldn't place it.
I realise the brain is complex but its ability to essential systems running during this sort of onslaught is impressive and no updates ever !
I have dealt with confused people most of my working life and contnue to do so - but to experience that confusion for the first time in my adult life has been life-changing....the feeling of vulnerability for those few hours was horrendous it must be awful when this is day in day out norm. I was trying to rationalise things out - testing theories, drawing up contingencies.
