Curious. This touches on some research I did a few years ago for a story. The subject was persisting hallucinations after drug use, the following quote from the related Wikipedia article:

It also should be noted that the visuals do not constitute true hallucinations in the clinical sense of the word; people with HPPD recognize the visuals to be illusory, or pseudohallucinations, and thus maintain the ability to determine what is real (in contrast to some mental illnesses such as schizophrenia).
