hallucinatory state
Seeing unreal things
A hallucinatory state is a condition in which someone perceives things that aren't there—seeing, hearing, or sensing what others cannot detect.
The term appears in clinical contexts describing effects of drugs, fever, sleep deprivation, or mental illness: The patient entered a hallucinatory state after three days without sleep.
Figuratively, it can describe any dreamlike or surreal experience.
