I'd love it if more people understood the difference between hallucinations and illusions. So let me try to explain with examples. [TW: examples of auditory hallucinations and illusions described as you experiencing them]

1. Imagine you are home alone with your windows closed and it's silent. And then you hear unfamiliar voices talking about you, it sounds like they are coming from another room. You go to check but no one is there. Your brain created entire voices of people out of thin air. This is a hallucination. There is nothing but your brain creates something.

2. Now imagine you are in the same scenario but your windows are open but the curtains are closed. You hear your neighbors having a conversation, and you hear it as them talking about what you are doing in that moment. They couldn't possibly see what you are doing, so realistically they can't be talking about you, but your brain makes you change the words and hear it that way. This is an illusion. There is something but your brain changes the real thing into something unreal.

It's not always easy to know the difference when you are experiencing it. But if you do know which one it is (nothing there and something unreal appears or something there changes to something unreal) then I think it can be really helpful to label the symptom accurately.

For me it was helpful to gage the effectiveness of my medication. I noticed that I have more illusions than hallucinations, and for me that was a sign of improvement. It can also go the other way, to see if your psychosis is getting more severe.

Quote

In a morbid condition of the brain, dreams often have a singular actuality, vividness, and extraordinary semblance of reality.

"Iron Maiden," a Super Mario RPG comic

In 2010, I illustrated my take on that particular Fear status spell.

Over 10 years later, I decided to redo it.

The original, for those who'd like to compare. Honestly, Younger Me was definitely cooking, making this particular Fear spell being the worst possible illusion you could have. I hope I made it a lot scarier this time!

The happiness we find in becoming is possible only by annihilating the reality of “existences” and lovely appearance, and through the pessimistic destruction of illusions: so, by annihilating even the loveliest appearances, Dionysian happiness attains its height.

Georges Bataille, On Nietzsche

Michael Sheen said this quote in an interview in July, which I just saw today. So I decided to put it onto these two images.

The second one is more angsty, fair warning 💓💕

The illusion of having no illusions is the greatest delusion of all. -- Michael Lipsey

Learning about illusions (in regards to psychosis) was a game changer for me as a schizoaffective. Previously I always thought of them as “mini hallucinations,” or “not-quite-hallucinations,” but now I have a word to accurately describe what I experience.

While a hallucination is the perception of something that isn’t actually present, an illusion is the misinterpretation of something that is present.

Some examples of hallucinations I’ve experienced:

hearing voices commanding me to do things

seeing a random child hiding in my room

hearing the sound of whispers when I’m the only person present

vs. Some examples of illusions I’ve experienced:

looking in the mirror and seeing a much younger version of myself

seeing creases in my blankets and thinking it’s the devil

reading a paragraph from a book and all the words are scrambled

Quote

There has hardly ever been so much darkness and confusion as in the present age. People are muffled up in lies and falsehoods and, more often than not, chance and passing impressions are their only guides through the maze of present events. Illusions, and particularly the illusion of power, overawe everyone.

Nikolai Berdyaev, "Political Testament"
