Another thing about hallucinations is that they also tend to have a sameness to them---a real similarity---but, in accounts of Jesus' appearances, there was a great deal of variety. He talked to a woman and to a man---he spoke with individuals. He walked and talked with a couple of people on the road to Emmaus. He talked to the disciples in a group and appeared at one point to as many as 500 people---he appeared to groups. That's important, since hallucinations don't appear to groups. They only appear to individuals.
