While other aspects of hallucinations have been extensively investigated, their location in space has been neglected. Careful attention to this aspect reveals that patients prone to experience them at a distance initially and to 'allow' them to come closer with improvement finally introject them. Affects accompanying this movement inwards are flatness, anger, and depression; after introjection, there is bodily discomfort. The changes appear to mark one of the paths of development of hallucinations. It is suggested that hallucinations exist to satisfy specific needs for external objects.
