What Causes Hallucinations?

Okay here it goes. So lately ive been seeing things like images or hallucinations like shadows, and weird things i don t want to say hallucinations c because that makes me sound crazy. Ive been hearing voices when no one is talking, and ive also been hearing voices in my head. Like i know my voice in my head but another voice would come in and overlap, then another and i would understand what they were saying but afterwards cant remember. Ive also been having really disturbing dreams. I figured these things were spiritual but i tried everything in that department so i figured medical. Ive also been very paranoid even in public places like school or the mall.
