Sensations (visual, audio, olfactory,
tactile) during which a person is aware of
an inherent falsehood are called
"illusions". If a person believes in such
false sensations, then they are called
"hallucinations". Both illusions and
hallucinations could be symptoms of a
severe psychiatric disorders (psychosis)
or brain damage (so called psycho-organic
syndrome) from poisons, traumas,
cerebral-vascular insults, inflammations,
epilepsy, tumors etc. You can go to your
doctor to gain more expert advice in the
daignosis of your sensory experiences.
