I still remember myself asking my elder sister about the meaning of “HALLUCINATIONS”, about a year ago. And the answer she gave was that ‘hallucination is what you see with open eyes! it is so vivid and lively that you can’t come out of it and differ it from the reality’.
Now if you hit a search on the internet for the word hallucinations, you’ll get varied results like perception in the absence of a stimulus or perception in a conscious and awake state in the absence of external stimuli which have qualities of real perception, in that they are vivid, substantial, and located in external objective space.
Earlier I had always taken hallucinations and the state of dreaming to be the same but now after all the quests for its meaning it’s very clear that they’re very different. While dreaming you visualize things but in hallucinations you see them when awake!! I’ve always wondered how it might be possible and how it must feel when you actually undergo such a thing. Speaking scientifically it’s a disease but if you see it as an artist then it is a state of infinite creativity. You can create and destroy anything, as and when you want. It’s then your world, free from the reality. Its upto you if you make it a heaven or hell! Hallucination, as I understand, is a way to fulfill which you couldn’t in real life. It can be something you always wanted to achieve or something you dread the most!! It can be anything ranging from something to nothing!!
I’m a day dreamer but no hallucinations. So the very thought of it muddles me. It comes to me that in a hallucination may be I can actually see myself in a totally different atmosphere.i can enjoy with my friends at a place like some beautiful waterfall, at my home itself!! That’s got to be wonderful!!
But it’s a disease! On www.wikipedia.org you’ll get various types of hallucinations. It arises from different senses like audio, smell and visual. The article tells you even about the various diseases which result into hallucinations. All scientific details which I don’t want to get into now.
So ill just end it here saying that my perception of hallucination is that of an artist rather as scientific personnel. And it’s a field where I would love to create my dreams and bring them to reality!!
