Even K. Castaneda noted that the world of everyday perception is the picture of the surrounding reality that was imposed on us by our environment in the process of education and training. And it has nothing to do with the real picture of the surrounding world.
Our perception from childhood begins to "slag" with all sorts of attitudes received from adults such as: "It seemed to you, in fact it does not happen" or "You dreamed it all", or "You fantasized it all."
Thus, the brain is given a certain command (attitude) not to fix everything that is not included in the generally accepted picture of reality perception. And those people who have enough internal energy to resist these hypnotic attitudes or commands of others, i.e. people who continue to see and hear what the vast majority are no longer able to perceive are considered either incorrigible dreamers or patients suffering from hallucinations. Meanwhile, the very nature of hallucinations remains unexplored by modern science.
A. Lenmann wrote the following about hallucinations: “If it is impossible to find the nearest cause of the unconscious process, then suddenly appearing ideas are called premonitions. If the images bursting into the field of consciousness acquire significant brightness and distinctness, so that they approach sensory perceptions in this respect, although the individual does not mix them with real perceptions, then they are called false hallucinations …
Finally, actually hallucinations, we call images of such brightness and strength that they cannot be distinguished from real ones, obtained through the senses. Therefore, we can say that hallucinations are sensory perception without a corresponding real external object."
For a long time, hallucinations were considered "a figment of a sick imagination." But new facts have completely "cut down" this prevailing opinion. It turned out that hallucinations come to us from the outside! This means that their perception is no less real than the picture of everyday reality we perceive.
So, after a serious illness, a St. Petersburg teacher N. V. Yakusheva suddenly began to hear inside herself the classical works of Beethoven, Rachmaninov, Bach, Tchaikovsky, etc. But the most interesting thing is that other people could hear this music if they pressed their ear to the teacher's ear … The otolaryngologist she turned to for help also heard music through a stethoscope.
Experts on anomalous phenomena became interested in the phenomenon. It turned out that similar phenomena, when people heard music and voices inside their heads, were known back in the 30s. Then everything was explained by the presence of carborundum crystals in dental fillings, thanks to which a mini-detector receiver was formed in the human body, which caught powerful radio stations.

However, in this case, this version was not confirmed. The teacher did not go to the dentist, the “music” inside her could be heard by those around her, and on top of that, it was not possible to find the radio station broadcasting this program. And although it was not possible to unravel the nature of this phenomenon, one thing was absolutely clear: this case had nothing to do with psychiatry.
Later, the "music" inside the woman became quieter, and after a year it completely disappeared.
Similar events took place in 1991 with a resident of Nizhny Novgorod S. Kurgan. At the same time, the sound signals were recorded on a tape recorder. The well-known Perm psychiatrist G. P. Krokhalev, who has been studying such phenomena since the 1970s, managed to record visual hallucinations in patients suffering from a severe form of alcoholism using photographs and filming.
O. Radin describes his experiments as follows: “The first experiments were extremely simple: the doctor took the tubes from the phonendoscope, inserted them into the patients' ears, and the other ends of the tubes were in the doctor's ears. In particular, it turned out that auditory hallucinations begin to sound louder if a constant voltage of 10-12 volts is applied to the earlobes of patients. In one of the subjects, the "music" in the ears sounded so loud that it could be heard even without additional amplification.
But the most surprising effect was discovered by Krokhalev in 1972. Patient S., born in 1926, after a severe binge for 10 days experienced vivid auditory hallucinations. According to him, he constantly heard the voices of dead girls from his native village, who asked to show them the city of Perm, where he lived. The patient got into a taxi, drove around the city and "showed them Perm" until he entered the Perm city psychiatric hospital.
G. Krokhalev decided to record on a tape recorder these voices of the "dead girls" and, in order to eliminate all external interference, tried to record in a shielded chamber. But as soon as the patient entered the cell and closed the door, the “voices” from the “other world” disappeared! They reappeared when S. left the cell.
This observation promised to make a complete revolution in psychiatry: visual and auditory hallucinations turned out to be not an "internal imaginary subjective factor", but induced from the outside! Moreover, there was no self-hypnosis - the patients, entering the cell, did not realize that they were in a screened room.
It should be noted that in 1979 similar experiments on recording auditory hallucinations on a tape recorder were carried out by three Italian parapsychologists, which allowed G. Krokhalev to express a very “blasphemous” hypothesis at that time: “I suppose that placing mental patients with hallucinations in a shielded chamber interrupted on them the subtle (astral) world."
