Define Hallucination Meaning

Hallucination
A hallucination is something that someone experiences which is not really there.

Probably the best way to describe a hallucination is that it is like dreaming while you are awake. Not daydreaming, which comes from conscious thoughts, but the things contained in your sub-conscious which are projected from your mind and appear to blend in with the real world. Hallucinations can be quite deceiving (especially if it is a mix of a visual images, sound and even the sensation of touch) and, like dreams, sometimes you know it’s not real but other times you are unsure. Also like dreams, hallucinating can warp or distort your thinking, causing you to know things you shouldn’t and to completely forget things that are common sense, obvious and every day practice.

There are five different types of hallucination:
* visual (seeing things)
* auditory (hearing things)
* olfactory (smelling things)
* gustatory (tasting things)
* tactile (feeling things)
Often, two or more of these will be mixed together at the same time.

Hallucinating can happen to anyone at all, and at any age. Some people hallucinate on a daily basis, while others may only experience it once and even then very briefly in their entire life.
Taking certain drugs may result in hallucinating, while for others, they may hallucinate because they have a mental illness or even for no obvious reason at all (even though there probably is a reason). For those who don't use drugs to hallucinate, different things can trigger it such as being alone, being around too many people, too much noise, no noise, the dark, etc.

The ceiling began to ripple like water and I could hear screaming, but it was just a hallucination.

Hallucinization
the phenomenon of stumbling upon a profound realization whilst hallucinating

today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. - this is an example of a hallucinization

Hallucinating
When you see something that is not there.

One day, A child went for a walk and saw a unicorn, of course he was hallucinating. He tried to take a ride on a unicorn but he smacked into a wall.
That kid was a fail. He had been smoking granola bars. He was only 12. Oh my. He lost his virgity to a fire hydrant.

Vibratory Hallucinations
Perception of vibratory experiences without an external stimulus and with a compelling sense of their reality, usually resulting from habitual exposure to an object and/or occurence that in reality would cause a vibratory experience.
