Lilliputian hallucination
Hallucinations of small beings
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lilliputian hallucinations are hallucinations of small humans, animals, or fantasy entities.[1] They are usually visual in nature, but are also often multimodal, and are almost always perceived as grounded in one's external environment.[1] Lilliputian hallucinations can occur in conditions such as Alice in Wonderland syndrome,[2] Charles Bonnet syndrome,[3][1] peduncular hallucinosis,[1] schizophrenia,[4][1] and alcohol withdrawal,[1] among others.[1] They have also been reported to be induced rarely by drugs such as amantadine[5] and trichloroethylene[6] and are known to be induced by hallucinogenic bolete mushrooms ("xiao ren ren" mushrooms) such as Lanmaoa asiatica.[7][8][9][10][11] They may also sometimes be induced by classical serotonergic psychedelics such as mescaline and dimethyltryptamine (DMT), as well as by Amanita muscaria mushrooms.[1]
