Perspective hallucination

A perspective hallucination is defined as an alteration of the perspective through which a given internal or external hallucination is seen through.^{[1][2][3][4][5]}

This effect is capable of manifesting itself across the four different perspectives described below:

• 1st person - The most common form of perspective can be described as the normal experience of perceiving a hallucination from the person's everyday self and body.
• 2nd person - This perspective can be described as the experience of perceiving a hallucination from the viewpoint of an external source of consciousness, such as another person, an animal, or an inanimate object.
• 3rd person - This perspective can be described as an out-of-body experience^{[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]} where a person's viewpoint is floating above, below, behind, or in front of their physical body.
• 4th person - The least common form of perspective can be described as the experience of perceiving a hallucination from multiple or even seemingly infinite viewpoints and angles simultaneously.

Perspective hallucinations are often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as delirium, and memory suppression. They are most commonly induced under the influence of heavy dosages of hallucinogenic compounds, such as psychedelics, dissociatives, and deliriants.
