Could you explain how you define hallucination in the context of creativity? Lack of consistency aside, the two look quite similar to me - or would you consider the existence of orcs and elves in LOTR to be hallucinations, too?

Mostly as you've mentioned, "lack of consistency", which manifests in variety of ways - presence of cellphones in historical settings (I'd call them "global inconsistency") and a character for whatever reason suddenly smoking a cigarette ("local inconsistency") I've never mentioned nor present in the context.
