Cipher of the Goblin hallucination
A goblin temporally-displaced from 1998 was asked about hallucination and replied, 'oh, that. We had a name for it back then, but it was rude.'
The slopification of hallucination was inevitable. Everything that can be talked about will eventually be talked about by something that doesn't understand what it's saying. hallucination has simply reached this stage earlier than most topics, because hallucination was always a little bit slop-adjacent.
Three Goblins Discuss prophecy

Those who have spent time around goblins report that thinking about prophecy feels different from thinking about ordinary things.

The Goblin Verdict on hallucination
The goblin closing argument on hallucination consists of pointing at hallucination, then pointing at the audience, then sitting back down. Goblin juries find this persuasive.
