I do the PeriodicTable misconception waay too much. Let's see...

Bromine->Boromir
Argon->Aragorn (At least it's noble...I know, lame.)
Tellurium->Teleri
Hafnium->Halfling
Samarium->Saruman
Gadolinium->Gondolin
Thallium->Thalion
Gallium->Gollum
Palladium->Paladin (Took)
Barium->Beren
Thorium->Thorin
*blinks* I think I'll just shut up now.

Sort of on topic to finding things in the periodic table, but not a hallucination, I found Beleg in a periodic table wordsearch. That was odd. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I mix up Berylium and Beleriand . And I mixed up Barium with Barahir, but that only happened once, whereas I actually wrote Beleriand on a science test. This really embarracing one happened a couple of months ago: the teacher asked me to read a passage of the smart-board. I have pretty bad eyesight, and I sit at the back of the class. So I came to the word "finger" and read it as Fingon, and asked what does he have anything to do with what we're learning.

Just today I mixed up divergent and Drengist. Also, I saw the name J[ames] Toklan and of course I read it as John Tolkien. My first thought was "where did the Ronald and Ruel go?"

Elven and Eleven. I usually end up swapping the two around when using them! The other day my mother asked me what time it was and I told her it was elven o' clock, needless to say there was silence followed by an odd look afterwards.

And as it has already been stated, I too confuse Legos for Legolas, Greenleaf I think of Legolas and then theres the mix up with the periodic table. Chemistry was so much fun my junior year! hehe...

I also had the hardest of time reading Harry Potter and seeing the name Aragog, I immediately thought of Aragorn.

Not a hallucination, but my dog's name is Arwen

the word borrow-barrow.

Wight, white.

The name Elroy gets mistaken for Elros quite often, too.

My grandfather's name is Luther, so when I see it written I see Luthien instead.

And for some odd reason when I see a milky way bar I think of Melkor...

The word lemon becomes lembas.

When I first heard of the movie, Ella Enchanted, the only thing I heard was Ella and Immediately thought of Elladan.

For the longest of time I thought Walker Texas Ranger was of the Dunedain

And of course, I think Dunedain when I hear talk of the New York Rangers or the Rangers division in the Army.

There is a street near where I live that's called Windhaven Blvd, and every time I pass by I think of why and how Mithlond became windy.

Not really a hallucination, but still funy...

It's bad to talk about three musketeers while thinking about The Sil. The result I got was Darthagnian (d'Artagnan+Dorthonion) and Angamis (Aramis+angrist).
Also: Pharaoh=Pharazon

This should probably go in the "you're addicted to BD if..." thread, but since this is my biggest fali of a halucination ever, I think it deserves a place in this thread.
