hallucinator

hallucinator
   A term used in empirical research settings to denote an individual who is currently hallucinating. In these settings the term hallucinator is used in opposition to the terms *trait hallucina-tor and * trait-positive hallucinator, both used to denote an individual with a history of hallucinatory activity who is currently not hallucinating, as well as to the terms * trait-negative hallu-cinator and non-hallucinator, used to denote an individual who has no history of hallucinatory experience.
