An '''internal | An '''internal hallucination''' is defined as the perception of a visual hallucination that exclusively occurs within an imagined environment which can typically only be viewed with closed eyes,<ref name="Siegel1985">{{cite journal|last1=Siegel|first1=Ronald K.|title=LSD Hallucinations: From Ergot to Electric Kool-Aid|journal=Journal of Psychoactive Drugs|volume=17|issue=4|year=1985|pages=247–256|issn=0279-1072|doi=10.1080/02791072.1985.10524329}}</ref><ref name="KometerSchmidt2013">{{cite journal|last1=Kometer|first1=M.|last2=Schmidt|first2=A.|last3=Jancke|first3=L.|last4=Vollenweider|first4=F.

At lower levels, internal hallucinations begin with imagery on the back of a person's eyelids which do not take up the entirety of one's visual field and are distinct from their background. These can be described as spontaneous moving or still images of scenes, concepts, places, and anything one could imagine. The imagery is manifested in varying levels of realism, ranging from ill-defined and cartoon-like in nature to wholly realistic. They rarely hold their form for more than a few seconds before fading or shifting into another image. It is worth noting that this level of intensity occurs in a highly similar manner to that of [[hypnagogia]], the state between sleep and wakefulness. | At lower levels, internal hallucinations begin with imagery on the back of a person's eyelids which do not take up the entirety of one's visual field and are distinct from their background.
