Mirror vision

Japanese: 鏡像幻視 - きょうぞうげんし
Mirror vision

...The things seen are people, animals, objects, landscapes, etc., and may be seen vividly right in front of the eyes, inside the eyes, inside the head, or sometimes behind the person (extra-visual hallucinations). When animals are seen, they are called zooplankton hallucinations, when people or objects appear small they are called Lilliput hallucinations (Lilliput hallucinations) after Gulliver's Travels, and when one sees one's own image they are called self-image hallucinations (mirror hallucinations, doppelganger hallucinations). Hallucinations are generally more likely to occur when consciousness is impaired, and are therefore often seen in symptomatic psychoses (mental symptoms from acute infectious diseases, systemic diseases, etc.) and toxic psychoses (chronic alcoholism, poisoning with various hallucinogens, etc.)....
