What's the difference between a vision and a hallucination?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vision: In psychiatric terms a hallucination can occur in any one of the five senses. So you can have olfactory, tactile, auditory and gustatory as well as visual hallucinations. So a vision might be a visual hallucination, ssuming of course that is not actually the result of a divine intervention or an accepted experience within the individuals cultural beliefs.
