WHAT ARE HALLUCINATIONS?
Bob Lowe
Hallucinations are perceptions in a conscious and awake state that are not the result of external stimuli but have the qualities of real perception. They are, by their nature, incredibly vivid. Most people think of visual hallucinations, but they can affect almost all of our sensory experience. They can be centred around our five common senses, but also our balance, nervous system, our understanding of our body and its proportions, temperature and the perception of time.
