I have never heard those two big words. There are links to both of them which I am sure define them.
I get them a lot where I will hear my name being called very loud but no one called it. Sometimes it wakes me from a dead sleep and sometimes it happens when I am just waking up. I don't know if you can call me normal or sane though. When in severe depression I think I have slight psychotics features. It is worst when I am trying to get to sleep but am having trouble. Other times it is very bad paranoia, but that might be considered delusional and not psychotic. Like misinterpreting things that are real. This happens in the middle of the day when I am wide awake.

As someone who does experience and has experienced numerous hallucinations in the form of both voices and visions, I can say it is impossible to draw any line between sanity and insanity. There really is no definite way to define if someone is "psychotic". Even if someone hallucinates in the middle of the day on a daily basis, they are not always "insane" as they could be functioning perfectly fine. Someone could hallucinate several times or more during a typical day and function alright. I have been like that at times, so when you think about it, drawing the line becomes difficult and maybe it is best to not draw distinct lines between "crazy" and "sane"
