Scorsese's The Last Temptation of Christ (Christ's dream while on the cross) Kubrick's The Shining (Nicholson's conversations with the bartender) The final scene of La La Land might qualify, it's more a reverie than a hallucination The Wizard of Oz ("There's no place like home...") The climactic dream sequence in Horace Ove's Pressure The various nightmares in Bunuel's The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie (including one where the characters sit down to dinner, only to realize they're on a theater stage and can't remember their lines)
These examples depict dreams, nightmares, hallucinations, inner states etc., but I'm not sure they *visualize *them (as does Kubrick's *2001*). I'm having a harder time thinking of narrative feature films that do that. Perhaps a better example is Kieslowski's theatrical version of A Short Film About Killing, which was filmed with green filters that highlight the psychopathy of the protagonist. I've recently learned that Ben van Meter's Acid Mantra was feature-length (and projected multi-screen) in one of its original iterations.
