Answer 1

If you’re hallucinating, your brain isn’t working normally–you are seeing or hearing things that aren’t there. Depending on the circumstances of what is causing the hallucinations, it can be very convincing. Mild hallucinations, you might see things moving around abnormally. There are “trip simulation” videos on YouTube where you stare at the screen that will give you a feel of this. With extreme hallucinations, your mind is in a whole different world–“I thought I was a zipper.”
