I don't know if it's exactly the same thing, but one of my tactics for learning new things - especially technical things - is to explain them in detail to my inner voice and have them (me) judge it.

My inner voice is usually pretty reliable in giving feedback like: "dude, that made no sense, you clearly don't understand that" or "good job! You should write a blog post!"

Would you consider the voice an aural hallucination?

The inner voice, also referred to as the internal monologue, is a form of thought. It's the same as how daydreaming isn't hallucinating images, it's seen with the mind's eyes rather than the physical ones.

No. Its always there. Im always chatting with it. And it's clearly in my mind and - for lack of a better term - me.
