<onlyinclude>'''Alterations in perspective''' can be described as a subjective effect component that can manifest within both [[External hallucinations|external]] and [[internal hallucinations]]. It is the alteration of the perspective through which a hallucination is perceived. Perspective alterations are distinct from [[perspective distortions]] because distortions are more specific to how one perceives their relationship to the environment.

Perspective hallucinations are often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as [[delirium]], and [[memory suppression]]. They are most commonly induced under the influence of [[dosage#heavy|heavy]] [[dosage|dosages]] of [[hallucinogen|hallucinogenic]] compounds, such as [[psychedelic|psychedelics]], [[dissociative|dissociatives]], and [[deliriant|deliriants]].</onlyinclude>
