Hallucinations are not only seeing things that are not there.
They can also be not seeing things that are there.
The brain's capacity to edit things out, this type of omissive hallucination, is something that the majority of humans are capable of and experience on a regular basis, and can be induced to experience it, unwittingly, by hypnotic suggestion.
Some people, like me, still have the hallucinatory capacity, but not the vulnerability to hypnotic suggestion.
It's kinda frustrating because I have hypnotic/trauma imprinted programs in me, but normal hypnosis doesn't seem to touch me, no matter how much I want it to.
This is probably why I got so interested in psychedelics, and probably need to resort to them to finish the job of clearing out the crap.
