Let's say someone sees something that is not there... that is a hallucination. But what if someone sees something that is there, but interprets it as something else? Like those flashcards of drawings when they ask you the first thing you see.. a preoccupied mind on religion, say for instance, would see things all relating to religion. Is that hallucinatory?
