Look up "hallucinations" in a Yahoo! web search. In the many links that come up wikipedia has a good summary.
Hearing, seeing, smelling, tasting, or feeling something that isn't there.
Seeing things that aren't really there.
I remember seeing people that werent there and they were talking to me. I saw a dragon on the wall with smoke and white rain.....and that was only on Benadryl oy
With a high fever, a person can believe that they are doing something that they aren't. I once believed I was at work stacking parts. The reality was that I was at home going through the motions of stacking parts. Hallucinations should not be confused with optical or other types of illusions. One deals with the mind. The other deals with perceptions of reality.
Your brain is like millions of little wires, with electrical impulses jumping like crazy across very short gaps, or synapses.
Sometimes, when you are extremely hungry, tired, suffering great pain or emotional pressure, or if you are under the influence of hallucinigens (like my favorite, LSD), your wires can misfire.
Therefore, the nerve impulse that was supposed to assist your hearing is somehow cross-wired with your optics, and you "see" music, or "hear" colors.
Some of the most common LSD hallucinations (that I've experienced) are see wall and other inanimate objects "breath", and seeing "trails" like a comet's tail that follows a moving object.
