I also forgot that I do have visual hallucinations. I see smoke around lights, especially ceiling lights.
Googled it and came across this:

Quote:
kinesthetic hallucination a hallucination involving the sense of bodily movement.
somatic hallucination a hallucination involving the perception of a physical experience with the body.
So in that case, I have had kinesthetic hallucinations in the context of panoramic visions. Seeing a place and feeling like I'm there, or seeing myself doing something and feeling like I'm doing it.

A colorful entry from Wikipedia:
Quote:
General somatic sensations of a hallucinatory nature are experienced when an individual feels that his body is being mutilated, i.e. twisted, torn, or disembowelled. Other reported cases are invasion by animals in the person's internal organs such as snakes in the stomach or frogs in the rectum. The general feeling that one's flesh is decomposing is also classified under this type of hallucination.
So I've had the animal one, operations/implants, and I guess the decomposing one. Though it's not really that I feel like I'm decomposing, I just feel like I'm not living or that I am on the verge of dying...
