Hallucinations are false sensory perceptions in which the individual experiences something which others agree is simply not there. Hallucination may be visual auditory or related to the senses of smell or touch.


Persons who are hallucinating are usually in a high state of excitement, fear, ecstasy, or anticipation of something. Even the ancients knew that certain plant juices could induce hallucinations. A modern counterpart is a group of drugs, tranquillizers.
