Hallucinations can sometimes be confused with auras such as senses as odors or sights or even sounds. I am not sure about nightmares. I have pánic attacks also known as anxiety.

I hate having them, the only thing that's not a side effect of epilepsy is nightmares that's normal. The panic attacks and hallucinations are down to the medication it happens to me. It states on the leaflet that comes in your medication box all the side effects that will be common with it hope this advice is helpful.
