In this case, both visual and auditory hallucinatory images are localized only in the visual area, contributing to the development of post-hypnotic hyperesthesia in one visual field. The most common types of visual hypnagogic hallucinations (the spatial distribution of which does not always correspond to constant reality) occur: hemianopic, bitemporal, circumtemporal and tetralembal.
