Welcome to the forum, lovely to have you. I am a carer rather than a sufferer, however I will make one brief comment.

PTSD sufferers may have hallucinations if their PTSD is severe, however many do not like the term. Flashbacks are much more common, and a more accurate word to use to describe re-experiencing the trauma. I wouldn't say it was an overactive imagination either. What they re-experience is very real to them, not imagined. Perhaps you should read some of the information sections to familiarize yourself with the symptoms of PTSD? We have a wealth of information here.

Good luck with your project!
