it would be a hallucination to see something appear in vision. it’s in that internal space that images appear. for some people, it’s not impossible for these two spaces to overlap, but i guess most of them we would consider psychotic.

notice how a person daydreaming looks spaced out. they’re not looking through their eyes then. no, people do not augment their reality, unless hallucinating.

I can see and then overlay visualizations on top of that, but it’s still not a hallucination. E.g. I’m in bed and a green apple lies to the left. This works by “capturing” reality and transferring it to the inner screen then visializing on it. Akin to switching between your primary/secondary eye and being stuck in between, you’re both there and spaced out.
