Controlled hallucinations? Is there something wrong with me?

Ever since I smoked weed for the first time again after doing MDMA and some Ketamine for the first time, I seem to have "unlocked" and ability so to speak...
I can, depends on the quietness of the area and how relaxed I am, concentrate on a certain object or anything and focus on it. After focusing on it for a few seconds... maybe around 10, I can with my mind, visualise it to be something else. It still "looks" pretty much like the same thing but its aspects and feeling feels different.
For instance, I stare at something on a tiled floor. The surroundings disappear and it looks like sand and I feel like I'm at the beach.
Sometimes it will work better in the dark but still with light.
Or I'll stare at a tree and it becomes flat looking and I can see face in it. Then it looks like a giant cat and with leaf camouflage all over it. There's countless things I can do this to and I love it but is it a mental problem or a gift?
Or is it just an illusion and most people could do this...

Maybe you're right... but I was looking around a bit and I came across this: http://www.bio.net/bionet/mm/neur-sci/1996-June/024159.html
What it explains in the 1st and 2nd section or so is pretty similar to what I'm talking about.

Well, if it takes concentration and conscious intent to make this happen, it doesn't seem like it's all that dangerous. If you were spontaneously hallucinating and had no control over it, or didn't realize it was a hallucination, maybe then it would be worrisome.

Yep. Does take a bit of concentration and I completely know what's going on. I'm just amazed I can do it. I think it's more illusion than hallucination but who knows...
I was in the bathroom last night and I looked out the window. I saw a tree in the distance and after focusing and concentrating on it for about 5 seconds, it looked like a dinosaurs head. I mean, I could clearly see the teeth and eyes and all.
I must continue to experiment with this.

I don't think that's actually a hallucination, but rather a perception exercise by relaxing and allowing your mind to wander. Certain things picked up by the senses generate memories held by the mind.

Yeah, I guess I should. I don't see how it could affect me in a bad way though... but I'll take your word for it.
Though I will miss staring out my window at midnight looking at the trees and watching the grass "breathe".
