#'''Fully defined hallucinations''' - As the vividness and intensity increases, the content eventually becomes comprised of completely realistic hallucinations which do not necessarily disappear once a person double takes. These are generally considered by those who have experienced them to be capable of a completely convincing and photo-realistic appearance. | #'''Fully defined hallucinations''' - As the vividness and intensity increases, the content eventually becomes comprised of completely realistic hallucinations which do not necessarily disappear once a person double takes.

There are certain factors that directly alter both the likelihood of external hallucinations manifesting themselves and the level of detail which they are rendered in. The more unfamiliar with the external environment one is, the more this effect will be likely to manifest itself. Cluttered areas also tend to produce more external hallucinations. As far as lighting goes, either a dark or dim room is optimum. Darkness produces much more hallucinations but the light present in a dim room will result in less (though more detailed) hallucinations. | There are certain factors that directly alter both the likelihood of external hallucinations manifesting themselves and the level of detail which they are rendered in.

*'''Lucid vs. Delirious''' - Hallucinatory states can maintain a consistent level of awareness throughout them regarding the fact that none of these events are really happening and that the current situation is simply a result of drug-induced hallucination. In contrast to this, hallucinations can also become completely believable no matter how nonsensical they may be in exactly the same way that we do not have any problem accepting absurd and non-linear plots within our [[dreams]]. | *'''Lucid vs. Delirious''' - Hallucinatory states can maintain a consistent level of awareness throughout them regarding the fact that none of these events are really happening and that the current situation is simply a result of drug-induced hallucination.

*'''New experiences vs. Memory replays''' – In terms of their subject matter, hallucinations can either be entirely new experiences or they can follow themes of normal every day concepts and a replaying of specific memories. | *'''New experiences vs. Memory replays''' – In terms of their subject matter, hallucinations can either be entirely new experiences or they can follow themes of normal every day concepts and a replaying of specific memories. | ||
*'''Controllable vs. Autonomous''' – Imagery and hallucinations can be partially to completely controllable. This can be described as the content of their appearance always seeming to perfectly follow and fit the general topic and subject matter of one's current thought stream with varying levels of partial to absolute control. In contrast, autonomous hallucinations are completely spontaneous in their subject matter and entirely uncontrollable. | *'''Controllable vs. Autonomous''' – Imagery and hallucinations can be partially to completely controllable.
