We are talking about three separate feelings. When a person smells, tastes, feels, hears, or otherwise senses something that does not exist it is called a hallucination. Delusions are false understandings about what is going on in the present. A paranoid delusion, on the other hand, involves someone believing something of a persecutory nature that is not true.
