Dream is a normal hallucination, so we all hallucinate.

I don't know if you can call a dream a hallucination. When you're dreaming you're not in concious state of mind.
hallucinate
verb
perceive what is not there; have illusions
But my assumption is that you would need to be awake or concious to be hallucinating. Not sleeping.
But I'm not an expert.
I can say that if you do hallucinate, the key would be to make sure you can decipher reality from illusions to make it in this world.

It may depend on your definition of hallucinations- you may be perceiving them as such, believing you are fully conscious while truly in a state of sleep. I consider hallucinations the weird things that happen to me from the Ambien and from manic episodes- as for the Ambien, I've seen various stores around my room, stacking up and trompling each other. I would be texting a friend and I could barely type, because my phone was rapidly changing into different objects and animals. I've seen parades go through my room multiple times, and I saw my dead horse with his head through the footframe on my bed, and given his euthanasia shots and his head falling off, thinking his head was in my lap and I was screaming bloody murder. That is what I consider hallucinations as for medically induced.
Manic- new creatures and notions began AMAZING, exhilirating, desirable. These are the kind you desire, that make you crazy in an ecstatic way. These are the GOOD hallucinations.
And I am at the point where I really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really want to experience that sensational amazing beautiful feeling again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ahhhh.
Also, another question- is a dream a product of the BRAIN or the MIND? Can one define a mind? It is often thought to be the highest plane of cosciousness. Therefore, if a mind, the most perceptive and creative component of the body, generates both dreams AND hallucinations, possibly related to experiences stored and retained in the brain, can we actually define dreams or hallucinations? If one cannot reach a conclusion when the TOOL of analysis is the OBJECT of analysis, one cannot define a mind- you would be using the intangible, truly unidentifiable "perception," "observation," or "complex inferrence" that the mind utilizes to analyze itself- impossible. Therefore, how can we define the products of the mind itself and state what they are or their differentiating features if we cannot define the mind?
Sorry, random. Just struck me.

Hallucination is not dream, nor does it take place in sleep.Moreover,dream we know is not "real" after we wake up; whereas hallucination seeing "real" during waking state where none exist.
