<onlyinclude>'''Scenarios and plots''' can be described as a shared subjective effect component that manifests as a result of both [[External hallucinations|external]] and [[Internal hallucinations|internal hallucinations]].
<onlyinclude>'''Scenarios and plots''' are the situations, stories, scenarios, and events which occur within both [[External hallucinations|external]] and [[Internal hallucinations|internal hallucinations]]. These behave in an almost identical fashion to the plots and scenarios that occur during ordinary [[dream]] states and often include cognitive [[delusions]] that result in one accepting the plot as a real life event. On rare occasions, however, they will be immediately recognized as a mere hallucination and not a real life event.


The components which comprise hallucinatory states ([[Autonomous entities|autonomous entities]], [[Alterations in perspective|alterations in perspective]], and [[Settings, sceneries, and landscapes|settings, sceneries, and landscapes]]) are randomly shuffled and spliced into any number of an infinite variety of potential plots and scenarios. These may be positive or negative to experience and are difficult to define in a comprehensive manner in much the same way that we cannot predict the plot of abstract literature and films.  
During this effect, the typical components which comprise standard hallucinatory states ([[settings, sceneries, and landscapes]] and [[autonomous entities]]) begin behaving and co-operating in a manner which results in the experience of events occurring within the hallucination itself. These are often perceived as linear and coherent plots that occur in a logical sequence by leading into other events through normal cause and effect. However, they are equally likely to present themselves as completely nonsensical and incoherent. For example, they may consist of nonlinear or spontaneous events which are capable of ending, starting, and changing between each other repeatedly in quick succession.  


They can however be broken down into extremely basic occurrences which generally entail visiting some sort of setting or a number of them which contain within them interactive, multiple, or [[Autonomous entities|autonomous entities]]. Alongside of these, completely unpredictable plot devices and events force the tripper to become involved within the specific scenario of the particular trip.
These hallucinated plots can consist of new experiences that are completely unlike the real world, old experiences such as accurate memory replays, or a combination of the two. However, in terms of their precise content, this effect is impossible to define in a comprehensive manner in much the same way that one cannot predict the exact plot of unknown literature and films. They can, however, be summarized as basic occurrences which often entail visiting a [[Settings, sceneries, and landscapes|setting]] that contains interactive objects and [[autonomous entities]]. It is also worth noting that the possible situations one may find themselves in as a result of this effect can be either positive or negative to experience in a manner which is dependent on both its content and the individual undergoing them.  


These scenarios and plots can be linear and logical with events that occur in a rational sequence which lead onto each other events through cause and effect. They are equally likely however to present themselves as completely nonsensical and incoherent. This means that the plot will occur with spontaneous events which are capable of ending, starting and changing between each other repeatedly in quick succession and as they please. The plots themselves can either be entirely new experiences that are unlike anything experienced within the real world, old experiences such as accurate memory replays or a combination of the two.
Hallucinatory plots and scenarios usually feel as if they are being experienced in real-time. For example, when 20 seconds has passed within the hallucination, the same amount of time will usually have passed in the real world. At other points, however, [[time distortion]] can occur, resulting in plots and scenarios that can feel as if they last days, weeks, months, years, aeons, or infinitely extended periods.


In terms of the amount of time in which they are experienced, hallucinatory plots and scenarios usually feel as if they are being experienced in real-time. This means that when 20 seconds have been felt to have passed within the hallucination, the exact same amount of time will have passed in the real world. At other points, however, distortions of time can make themselves present, resulting in plots and scenarios that can feel as if they literally last days, weeks, months, years, or even infinitely long periods of time.</onlyinclude>
Scenarios and plots are most commonly induced under the influence of [[dosage#heavy|heavy]] [[dosage|dosages]] of [[hallucinogenic]] compounds, such as [[psychedelic|psychedelics]], [[dissociative|dissociatives]], and [[deliriant|deliriants]]. However, they can also occur less commonly under the influence of [[stimulant psychosis]], and [[sleep deprivation]].
