This thread is kind of a waste. No one is really saying anything relevant other than repeatedly claiming the OP has amental illness. How many people need to say it before it is true?
I don't believe anyone here is qualified to give a diagnosis based on what's presented.
However, barring any evidence (clinical or material), I'm pretty comfortable in saying that the OP's experience wasn't "real".

It's possible - but seriously, take a peek at the DSM-IV criteria. Schizophrenia (for example) has other diagnostic criteria that must be met. There are many causes of hallucinations, not all related to mental disorder. It is an indicator, and certainly something a professional should be consulted on if a real answer is wanted.
