[Hallucinations and experience of fear].
Hallucinations, which are experienced in fear-evoking situations of helplessness and (external) danger, are attempts of defence and the realisation of elementary needs of self-preservation and security. The reality-denying self-deception is accompanied by the mobilisation of own protective potencies. Hallucinations are experienced fearfully, so that there is a situation of helplessness and danger. They are--as neurotic symptoms--an attempt to realise libidinous and/or aggressive desires with the manifestation of (condemning and punishing) defence in the projective perception. The self-deception here concerns the denial of own internal conflicts.
