Yup - sounds good to me. Hallucinations would be something like seeing/hearing/smelling/feeling something that's "not really there." Pink elephants & that sort of thing.

Delusion might include stuff like believing that you're king of the world, or smarter than everyone else, or much uglier than those around you.

Agree with answers previously given.
