Hallucination (translate exercise nr.1) A hallucination is a false perception in the absence of a real external stimulus. It is often defined, in psychopathology, as a "perception without object". The term derives from the latin "hallucinere" or "allucinere", that stands for "wandering into the mind", with its root in the "LUX" (light-illumination-perception) particle. Alternatively, it can be traced in the greek word "ἁλύσκειν" (haluskein), that stands for "escaping", "avoiding", referred to a widespread interpretation of the hallucination as an escape from reality. In psychopathology, hallucinations are classified amongst perception disorders and are divided from hallucinosis and illusions. Hallucinations may occur in each of the sensitive mode: in particular, we recognize visual, auditory, gustatory, olfactory and tactile hallucinations, to kinaesthetics, enteroceptives and protopatics hallucinatory phenomena.
