One highly qualified man said that we all hallucinate. Hallucination is a normal phenomena in a normal person. Before I could ask how, he smiled and drove away.

Sounds like the matrix... define hallucinate? did he mean that our dreams during sleep are hallucinations? or that our dreams and aspirations were hallucinations cause we imagine things? or could that be something that could happen, given the right conditions (starvation, drugs, alcoholism, etc.)?
Was he part of your hallucination? :)

You have to define what you mean by an Hallucination. Some 40% of the world population is said to report having had an hallucination at some time in their lives. (Try "hallucinations" in Yahoo! web search or google. Wikipedia has good summaries.) That is not all by any means but it is a lot. Only 1-3% of the population is deemed psychotic. An hallucination to be psychotic I think has to somehow severly interfere with normal behavior. See DSM IV-TR for the American psychiatric Assoc's. definitions of a psychotic hallucination.

I think he himself was under hallucination...when he told u about it.....or he doesnt know what exactly the word Hallucination means.....coz if he knows the meaning then he wouldnt have told u that its a normal phenomenon....
It is not normal to hallucinate and a normal person will not hallucinate...next time u meet him tell him this...

That man is absolutely right. Everyone hallucinates, has hallucinated and will hallucinate. It is a paradox that everyone denies it. Hallucinating is seeing or being aware of something that is unreal (in the materialistic sense). We (and I mean all of us) regularly misinterpret our circumstances and relationships, create unreal visual imageries about them in our mind. And we start believing in them strongly. When these turn out differently we misinterpret further and create more unreal visual imageries (we just cannot be wrong). What is hallucination, if not that?

Maybe the guy who drove away was a hallucination.

Hi there !
was this man "an illusion" ?
is this concept a "delusion" about "hallucinations" ?
hope you can analyse the problem yourself...
agree with me ?
best wishes !

Uhh, I dont. We all make our own realities by how we decide to view events in our life, but not actual hallucinations. Not normal.
