I've heard an account of cortisone withdrawal from a generally rational person-- she said her hallucinations became more and more bizarre (iirc, a CIA center appeared in her hospital room), and she had no ability to check it for plausibility.

I wonder whether practicing lucid dreaming would give people more ability to remain reflective during non-dream hallucinations.
