I have tried to correct the spelling of 'Sidgewick, H.' in the References section, but could not work out how to get at it! The Sidgwick in question is the Cambridge moral philosopher Henry Sidgwick (q.v. - he has an excellent entry in Wikipedia in his own right). Ranger2006
[edit] hypnagogic hallucinations
I checked the reference regarding HH and brainstem abnormalities. Most of the time HH are associated with narcolepsy. The authors then say that HH can be associated with brainstem abnormalities, but this is not often the case.
[edit] Hearing Voices Movement
This seems like an important viewpoint to have in the article, but at the same time it's a minority viewpoint, and that should be reflected in the amount of weight it receives as per WP:NPOV. Currently it takes up about half of the very short section on auditory hallucinations. I think it would be better to expand the first part (conventional view), rather than to cut the second part (HVM view). --Ginkgo100 talk 21:17, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hallucinations in dreams (while sleeping)
According to encyclopedia britannica, the dreams are "a hallucinatory experience that occurs during sleep" and in the wikipedia page regarding hallucinations Hallucination there is no single mention of these normal hallucinations which happens during sleep (and happens about 2 hours for 8 hours sleeping Dream). Also, see more about hallucinations in the sane people: Hallucinations_in_the_sane
So, I think that a good ideea is to add a reference to dreams in this page (not only a link, but something like "hallucinations during sleep happens most of the time during REM stage of sleep, and this experience is called a dream).
