Hallucinations

Hallucinations may also manifest as a symptom of AIWS. Some people have stronger hallucinations than others, to the point of visualizing things that are not real. This might include seeing people, places or objects that appear to be convincingly real to the individual. This can cause them to further lose touch with reality.1Weissenstein, Anne, Elisabeth Luchter and Stefan Bittmann. ‘Alice in Wonderland Syndrome: A Rare Neurological Manifestation with Microscopy in a 6-Year-Old Child.’ Journal of Pediatric Neurosciences, 2014, doi: 10.4103/1817-1745.147612

Those with AIWS might also inaccurately judge a specific person or event based on something they're seeing that isn't real.1Weissenstein, Anne, Elisabeth Luchter and Stefan Bittmann. ‘Alice in Wonderland Syndrome: A Rare Neurological Manifestation with Microscopy in a 6-Year-Old Child.’ Journal of Pediatric Neurosciences, 2014, doi: 10.4103/1817-1745.147612
