What are more frequent hallucinations?

Imagine you're playing a game where you have to guess what someone is thinking, but sometimes you get it wrong. That’s like hallucinations, when your brain makes up things that aren’t really there, just like when you think you see a monster under your bed, but it's actually just the shadow of a cat.

Sometimes, your brain is like a robot who forgot how to count. If you're tired or confused, the robot might make more mistakes, and that means you might see or hear things that aren't really there, more often.

Think of your brain as a radio. When it's working well, you only hear the music. But when it gets a little mixed up, like when you're sleepy or upset, the radio starts picking up static and other songs too. That’s when hallucinations come in, they’re just like those extra sounds on your brain radio.
