I have had a lot of experiences that are sort of like thought hallucinations. I can’t decide if they’re really delusions or really hallucinations. But generally, delusions are false beliefs and hallucinations false sensations. Things get a little unclear when you go from the theoretical definitions to the practical side of it.

An example is my “memory hallucinations”. I often hallucinate things that I never actually saw in the first place, but immediately after not seeing them, I vividly remember having just seen them. Not sure which of the two categories this fits into.

I have a delusion currently (sz) which is real to me, but others said it’s not real. That’s why I asked about hallucinations of thougts. I don’t know too much

Well a delusion is not real just like a hallucination is not real, so in that way they are the same.

But they still happen. I would rather classify them as useless.
