Ask a man who has daily hallucination of butterflies flying around him anything.
Do they ever go down youre throat and into your stomach when youre nervous
Do they ever follow up with a rendition of the theme from Reading Rainbow?

How do you know they're not real?

What kind of butterflies are they? What do you feel about them.
I once communicated with a butterfly by imitating its wings with clapping hands. It followed me around for about 45 min and repeatably landed on my hand. I never managed to reproduce this effect.
Do you try to kill the butterflies?

How can you be sure they're all hallucinations?
How can you be sure anything isn't a hallucination?

In Buddhism (as I understand it), the butterfly is a symbol for overcoming struggles in order to change. A butterfly cut from its cocoon will escape it faster, but never finish its evolution and never learn to fly. It is the long struggle of escaping the cocoon that allows the butterfly to move on and reach the next stage of its existence.
What you are experiencing is your mind's subconscious desire to move on manifesting itself in a hallucinogenic form. I imagine you might have tried to catch one of them from time to time, only for nothing to be in your hand? Your mind is telling you that you haven't moved on yet, from whatever it might be, or you just haven't moved to another stage of life.
When you truly, fully feel like you have caught it, then you will have moved forward.
Meditate on this.

Have you finished meditating now, OP?
