A hallucination be a perception insyd de absence of an external context stimulus wey get de compelling sense of reality.[1] Dem be distinguishable from several related phenomena, such as dreaming (REM sleep), wich no dey involve wakefulness; pseudohallucination, wich no dey mimic real perception, wey be accurately perceived as unreal; illusion, wich dey involve distorted anaa dem misinterprete real perception; den mental imagery, wich no dey mimic real perception, wey be under voluntary control.[2] Hallucinations sanso differ from "delusional perceptions", insyd wich a correctly sensed den interpreted stimulus (i.e., a real perception) be given sam additional significance.[3]
Hallucinations fi occur insyd any sensory modality—visual, auditory, olfactory, gustatory, tactile, proprioceptive, equilibrioceptive, nociceptive, thermoceptive den chronoceptive. Hallucinations be referred to as multimodal if multiple sensory modalities occur.[4][5]
A mild form of hallucination be known as a disturbance, wey fi occur insyd chaw of de senses above. Dese fi be things like seeing movement insyd peripheral vision, anaa hearing faint noises anaa voices. Auditory hallucinations be very common insyd schizophrenia. Dem fi be benevolent (telling de subject good things about demaselves) anaa malicious (cursing de subject). 55% of auditory hallucinations be malicious in content,[6] for example, people wey dey talk about de subject, no dey speak to dem directly. Like auditory hallucinations, de source of de visual counterpart sanso fi be behind de subject. Dis fi produce a feeling of being looked anaa stared at, usually plus malicious intent.[7][8] Frequently, auditory hallucinations den dema visual counterpart be experienced by de subject togeda.[9]
Hypnagogic hallucinations den hypnopompic hallucinations be considered normal phenomena. Hypnagogic hallucinations fi occur as one wey dey fall asleep den hypnopompic hallucinations dey occur wen one dey wake up. Hallucinations fi be associated plus drug use (particularly deliriants), sleep deprivation, psychosis (wey dey include stress-related psychosis[10]), neurological disorders, den delirium tremens. Chaw hallucinations sanso dey happen during sleep paralysis.[11]
