Some people wonder whether what they see may be a misinterpretation or an illusion. Since your view of reality is like a picture you paint with the senses, and every sensory experience is created in the mind, you may wonder if your life isn't itself a  hallucination.

Each moment, you unconsciously insert new beliefs into your perception. They are forms of energy. They transform and materialize as part of your circumstances. Most people don't sense the ongoing process, but your own mental exercise continues, even now.

On some level, you engage in constant self-hypnosis.  You tell yourself to believe and see certain things, and reinforce this with repetition.  How you feel reiterates what you think.  The question is, do you make the connection? Are you aware of your beliefs?

If you feel dissatisfied, uncomfortable or unhappy, it may be convenient to assume you must be hallucinating.  Yet, it would seem as though you are not.  The physiological signs indicate otherwise. You do not hallucinate just because you don't like an experience.  This reaction reflects denial or ignorance about what you implicitly asked for (and got). 

Consider that under induced hypnosis, like on stage as part of entertainment or in a therapist's office, you would attempt and perform physical feats that you would resist under other conditions.  You wouldn't hold back.  You transcend your own defenses. 

In such cases, hypnosis prompts you to suspend debilitating beliefs and fears.  When you don't let them control you, then doubt dissolves.  You choose to view life differently.  You concentrate fully on your own energy and potential.  How you perceive changes.

As for whether your reality is a hallucination, reflect on whether you are willing to suspend certain beliefs and adopt others.  If you feel disoriented, does that bother you? What if you would benefit from shaking up the frameworks of thought that ground you?

Intuitive elements influence faith in yourself.  If you no longer favor aspects of a previous system of belief, then you can hypnotize yourself differently.  Pay attention to your conscious thoughts. You are your own hypnotist.  Reverse the process where it suits.
