External hallucination: Difference between revisions

Line 20:

The more unfamiliar you are with your environment during states of delirium, the more you will hallucinate. Cluttered areas tend to produce hallucinations best. As far as lighting goes, either a dark or dim room will is optimum. Darkness produces much more hallucinations and will result in more of a sinister feel, but the light present in a dim room will make you see less, though more detailed hallucinations.

==Variations==

*'''Lucid vs. Delirious''' - hallucinatory states can maintain a consistent level of awareness throughout them regarding the fact that none of these event 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.

*'''Interactive vs. Fixed''' – hallucinatory states can either present themselves to you as completely separate in a manner that is similar to watching a video play out in your field of vision or they can be completely interactive. For example, conversing with autonomous entities or manually exploring landscapes in a fashion similar to a lucid dreaming is entirely possible.

*'''New experiences vs. Memory replays''' – in terms of their subject matter, hallucinations can either be entirely new experiences that are completely impossible to compare to anything previously experienced through out sober living or they can follow themes of normal every day concepts and a replaying of specific of memories.

*'''Controllable vs. Autonomous''' – imagery and hallucinations are often partially to fully controllable, this can be described as the content of their appearance always seeming to follow and fit the general topic and subject matter of your current thought stream. This allows you to visually manifest any concept which you can possibly imagine in front of your field of vision. In contrast, autonomous hallucinations are completely spontaneous in their subject matter and uncontrollable in every way.

*'''Predictive vs. Spontaneous''' - hallucinations can manifest themselves as predictive in theme, meaning that they will consistently generate realistic concepts that could genuinely happen such as people wearing imaginary items of clothing or seeing the room around you when your eyes are closed. On the other end of the spectrum they can be completely spontaneous and follow no predictable theme whatsoever.
