Not delusions(where you believe something is real that isn’t), hallucinations specifically.
In: 6
As long as you know that hallucinations are just that (for example, you know you took LSD) then there isn’t much difference between that and just imagination.
Your brain is creating something that isn’t there, but you could say the same about making up a story in your head deliberately.
The biggest difference really is that hallucinations are uncontrolled. Your brain is coming up with new ideas and visions, sometimes strongly enough that they overwhelm your normal perception.
Take some LSD and you will know yourself. In this particular case there are some hallucinations that normally aren’t possible – for example strong synesthesia. Imagine listening to music and feeling that *the music* is wet and sticky. Does it sound weird? It is, very much so.
