Defining Hallucination According To The Capitol and Its Academies
1. “Hallucination is defined as a sensory perception in the absence of a corresponding external or somatic** stimulus... Hallucinations may occur with or without insight into their hallucinatory nature. The absence of insight into a hallucination defines it as a psychotic symptom, that is, a hallucination for which reality testing is impaired. Hallucinations without insight are contrasted with hallucinations that the individual recognizes as unreal.”In this article, delusions and illusions have been separated and parsed in a splitting hairs manner. This nationally approved definition is as clear as the muddled minds who are trying hard not to implicate themselves. (2015)

**Three definitions:
a) Somatic is said to be something originating from the body or having to do with the body. https://www.google.com/search?q=somatic+definition&newwindow=1&ei=cOI3ZNPVIv-aptQPtZOCgA0&oq=somatic+&gs_lcp=Cgxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAQARgFMgsIABCABBCxAxCDATILCAAQigUQsQMQkQIyCAgAEIoFEJECMgsIABCABBCxAxCDATIOCAAQigUQsQMQgwEQkQIyDggAEIoFELEDEIMBEJECMggIABCABBCxAzIICAAQigUQkQIyCwgAEIAEELEDEIMBMgsIABCABBCxAxCDAToKCAAQRxDWBBCwAzoKCAAQigUQQxCRAjoICAAQFhAeEA86BggAEBYQHjoICAAQigUQhgM6BQgAEIAEOgoIABAWEB4QDxAKSgQIQRgAUIoYWPVCYJFuaAFwAXgAgAGAAYgBtQeSAQMzLjaYAQCgAQHIAQjAAQE&sclient=gws-wiz-serp
b) “The somatic sensory system has two major components: a subsystem for the detection of mechanical stimuli (e.g., light touch, vibration, pressure, and cutaneous tension), and a subsystem for the detection of painful stimuli and temperature. Together, these two subsystems give humans and other animals the ability to identify the shapes and textures of objects, to monitor the internal and external forces acting on the body at any moment, and to detect potentially harmful circumstances.” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK11078/ and https://www.google.com/search?q=somatic+touch+stimuli&newwindow=1&ei=ceg3ZPC8DpOYptQPuJSp8As&ved=0ahUKEwiwuae04ab-AhUTjIkEHThKCr4Q4dUDCBA&uact=5&oq=somatic+touch+stimuli&gs_lcp=Cgxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAQAzIFCCEQoAE6CggAEEcQ1gQQsAM6CAgAEIoFEJECOgUIABCABDoHCAAQigUQQzoGCAAQFhAeOggIABCKBRCGA0oECEEYAFDKGViiMWDyOGgCcAF4AIABwwGIAYIIkgEDMC44mAEAoAEByAEIwAEB&sclient=gws-wiz-serp
c) “Three kinds of somatic stimuli will be distinguished: the objective sensory stimuli which proceed from external objects, the inner states of excitation of the sensory organs, having only a subjective reality, and the bodily stimuli arising within the body.” https://psychclassics.yorku.ca/Freud/Dreams/dreams5b.htm
What is additionally very interesting about this bullet Point #1 is that it is said that it is possible to be aware you are hallucinating or that you have hallucinated (that your perceptions are unreal). If so, then it seems to me that you must also be able to be aware that your unreal hallucinatory sensory perceptions occurred in the absence of a corresponding external or somatic stimulus (external, internal, objective, subjective). This sounds sane and clear-headed to me that you can know you are having “crazy” involuntary uncontrollable moments of perception that are outside reality.
2. A clearer stated definition of hallucination is provided by Georgia Technical College: “Hallucinations: Perception-like experiences that occur without an external stimulus. They are vivid and clear, with the full force and impact of normal perceptions, and not under voluntary control.” This definition has the problem of requiring [real] perception to have an external stimulus. https://wiregrass.libguides.com/c.php?g=1044445&p=75832723. Per the the DSM-IV TR per https://www.scielo.br/j/pusp/a/xGHr6Rd94d8HnDXTMNF8swD/?lang=en&format=pdf “Hallucination is defined as “a sensory perception that presents the sense of reality of a real perception, but that occurs without external stimulation from the relevant sensory organ”
4. “Many drugs [medications] are labeled as hallucinogens because they alter perceptions, although true hallucinations are perceptions in the absence of any actual stimulus.” (2009) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2660156/5. Per “a collaboration between hundreds of medical experts worldwide, an independent editorial board of peer reviewers, and an editorial staff of physicians and professional medical writers,” hallucination is succinctly defined as a false perception. https://www.msdmanuals.com/professional/psychiatric-disorders/schizophrenia-and-related-disorders/schizophrenia

We continue to learn that for most definitions societies put forth, there is no agreement among “experts” in the same field of study and definitely not among those in different fields of study. These fragmentation manifestations are obviously made to suit their claims of superior intelligence; but when others make up stuff, it's a hallucination, whether or not they know they have just made something up without a societally acceptable basis.
What A Hallucination Is In General
Dementia Syndrome is when one or more system malfunctions cause a person's memories, learned or inherited, to become difficult to transfer from storage into conscious active memory and then translated as intended into actions and speech. This is aggravated by areas of genetic code storage (short-term and long-term storage) that have been damaged or fragmented due to the absence of nutrition and presence of toxins.So why would a person, who is unable to access and accurately transmit stored information, just make up unreal shit? I.E., hallucinate?
Why would a person who can rarely form a complete sentence or rarely respond as expected to questions or rarely be able to follow a television program, then be able to uncontrollably and spontaneously create and have clear conversations with people or other animals who are not there?Why are these so-called hallucinations coherent and consistent with a reality the person is experiencing, yet we are told “to hallucinate is to be incoherent and inconsistent with reality?”
In an indirect way, loss of memory and the ability to access and communicate thoughts, frees the mind to see beyond the limited dimension and level of awareness that suboptimal theory's broad ranging miseducation confines us to in all areas of knowledge of self and knowledge of else.
This is why babies in the crib and children naturally create imaginary playmates. Are they hallucinating?
Are they aware they are hallucinating and dealing with the unreal?
If not, are they psychotic?
Are people who write fictional stories and create characters and settings, hallucinating?
Are cartoons hallucinations?
Are people who talk to themselves hallucinating?
Are people who talk to Gods they can't see, hallucinating?
Are God's real just because we think and believe they are real?
When a person diagnosed with Dementia Syndrome expresses a thought that we think is not based in reality not only does our miseducation prevent us from understanding what is really taking place, but we are also confused when the person combines imagination with things, facts, information and words we know exist. Yet we don't get confused when babies seem to be talking to someone who is not there or when children combine imagination with information they've learned from us (combine brand new creations with used creations, fresh creations with old creations, self-generated creations with creations of others, their perceptions of reality with the perceptions of others).
On one hand, the shortsighted definitions at the top of this message do not allow for the simultaneous use of both internal and external stimuli; however, many hopes, dreams, wishes, destinies, purposes and common everyday thinking and behavior use both internal and external stimuli to form perceptions that are auditory, visual, mental, emotional, spiritual and physical and also include many other sensing abilities.
What A Hallucination More Anciently Is
The word hallucination can come from many branches and combinations of words we have explored such as, hal-lucid-nation, mation, na-ti-an, hail-ruti-mati, Karuti, Naialu, Naialu-cinate, Ka-latin-ate, elucidate, lucy, lucifer (Angels, Demons, Diamonds, Stars, Angles and Souls of Light such as Polaris South & North, manifestations of the original race the elemental souls of life who can be whatever they imagine, whatever they see fit and who form all dimensions of life, existence, perception).Khal (Kal, Kher, Ker, Khar, Kar) is the person, place, thing and action that shines and comprises the application of clear sight and vision of spirit motion. Kher (Khal) is the sacred shrine, womb, birthplace and cell of learning, speak, speech, the word.
In a societal sense, to hallucinate is to say something not understood, not accepted, not believed or that does not benefit the Asili and Utamawazo worldview of the power-by-murder-coercion-and-duress favored group.
Societies attempt to stigmatize and penalize people who do not perceive the world as they do. Despite subjectivity being a part of somatic stimulation that contributes to perceptions, subjectivity is disallowed if it does not fit into what the society has defined as an acceptable perception. Truth is, it's okay to not perceive the world as others, as long as you do not infringe upon the rights of creation of others.
People who believe in the goodness of their society in being the type of environment that helps them be their best, are hallucinating, having delusions and having illusions according to their society's definitions. They are psychotic because they are unaware they are having unreal perceptions that do not jive with multiple forms of evidence to the contrary, chief among which are each person's own experiences.
Additional information from an earlier differently informed perspective has been presented in Depression, Hallucinations & Protein Plaques, Delving Deeper & Broadly Into Dementia Syndrome, Unity Consciousness #2155In other words, like most things in societies, hallucination is another concept that is seriously inadequately defined, thus is misleading.
Bonus Understandings
A person diagnosed as having Dementia Syndrome or other memory related disorders, are said to have cognitive deficits. We should at least know that “cognitive deficits” applies to almost all of us.Despite a Dementia Syndrome diagnosed person having memory formulation and memory recall difficulties, the person still desires to communicate in the same manner as before. Their mind is not sitting there blank and inactive unless they are heavily medicated into a stupor. Dementia Syndrome patients are still having thoughts and are still trying to formulate these thoughts, have internal dialogue and communicate with others. This is a tiring process in the same manner we get tired when we are trying to understand something and it is taking us a long time. We can help the person by listening and making small corrections or suggestions here and there and by asking questions. We should never tell the person they are hallucinating or what they are seeing is not there or what they are saying doesn't make sense. We can ask the person to repeat what they said or we can repeat it to the best of our ability and say what we think the person is trying to say. Most times we should go along with the conversation and indulge the perceptions of the person. We might remember something about another dimension of potential. You cannot expect a person having memory processing difficulty to respond as quickly or always to respond. Although we may be talking, they might not be hearing what we are saying because they are still intently thinking about something else and need time to switch gears. If we think a person with memory difficulties is going to be able to respond as we expect, we are hallucinating. This is true even when we are dealing with people in all areas of our daily lives.
