External hallucination: Difference between revisions

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.

*'''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.

*'''Interactive vs. Fixed''' – Hallucinatory states can either present themselves as completely separate in a manner that is similar to watching a video play out in front of one's field of vision or they can be completely interactive. For example, conversing with [[Visual effects: Autonomous entities|Autonomous entities]] or interacting with imagined objects in a fashion similar to [[lucid dreaming]] is entirely possible.

*'''Geometry based vs. Solid''' – Hallucinations can appear as completely separate and distinct from accompanying [[Visual_effects:_geometry_(psychedelic)|geometry]] or they can be comprised of and embedded within it.
