Abstract

This article delves into the intricate world of hallucination, a phenomenon that has perplexed humanity for centuries. Hallucination involves perceiving sensory experiences that have no basis in reality and manifests in various forms, including visual, auditory, olfactory, gustatory, and tactile hallucinations. We explore the multifaceted causes of hallucination, encompassing mental health conditions, substance abuse, sleep deprivation, neurological factors, and sensory deprivation, shedding light on the significance of these experiences in both medical and cultural contexts. By unraveling the enigmatic nature of hallucination, we gain insight into the complexities of human perception, the mind, and its impact on art, culture, and mental health.
