You can definitely have hallucinations that you know are not real! It's the only kind I've had.
I think it's probably safe to say that there's a pretty wide range of severity for hallucination. I've heard a disembodied voice calling my name, but that's it - pretty mild, though still very scary. I definitely heard it, and it definitely wasn't real. Some people's visual hallucinations seem pretty extreme to me, or the extent to which it continues and disrupts things seems much more severe. But I don't really know because I've only had very mild hallucinations, even when I tried hallucinogens years ago.
I was actually wondering about this the other day. I just saw the movie Black Swan (amazing, but whoa, triggering!) and her hallucinations were incredibly complex, seemed to be visual, auditory and tactile. It made me wonder if that's just Hollywood or if people actually experience it that way.
