Synopsis	:	This thesis is about the hallucination experiences by Emily in Alexandra Potter's Me and Mr. Darcy since this novel depicts implicitly the hallucinations using Emily’s perspective. Hallucination is defined as a false perception where a person feels they see, hear, touch, smell, and taste something that does not exist in the real world. To restrict the discussion, the researcher will only focus on analyzing the factors, forms, characteristics, and how to overcome the hallucination experiences by Emily. The qualitative analysis method is used in this thesis. The researcher attempts to use a psychological approach to reveal the hallucination of the main character. The analysis is empowered with several theories concerning hallucinations, for example, Veague's theory about types of hallucinations and several other theories that explain the causal factors, characteristics, and way to escape from hallucination. It is discovered that Emily's hallucination is caused by a traumatic event that she experiences when the four men she dates end up disappointing her. Emily experiences hallucination of meeting Mr. Darcy as a form of distraction from her traumatic experience. The type of hallucination that Emily experiences is a multimodal hallucination. The characteristics that indicate Emily is experiencing hallucination are she experiences sensory experiences, she believes in the truth of the experiences, and the absence of the real object of her hallucination. Emily can escape the hallucination after she can overcome her trauma by having the courage to fall in love again
