ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Hallucination

Hallucination is like having a dream while you're still awake. It's like when you see, hear, feel, or smell something that isn't really there. So, your mind is playing tricks on you and it can be a bit confusing and scary. It might feel like you are in a different world or reality and sometimes people can't tell the difference between what is real and what isn't. It's not something to be scared of, though.
