Hallucinations are false duplicate images.
They come in two forms: the first are psionic illusory duplicates of other beings/vehicles, courtesy of psionic power. This psionic ability to create hallucinations can be used by high templar[1] though the dark templar are able to employ a similar technique on their ships.[2]
The second version is technological, and is used by sentries.[3]
Game Effect
StarCraft I
A comparison of an actual unit to an hallucination.
The high templar selects a unit, creating two duplicates of it. Hallucinations appear with a blue tint to the creating and controlling player, while all other players will see them as duplicates of the original. Hallucinations do not inflict damage when they "attack", may not cast spells, or produce units (important for hallucinated carriers and reavers), and take double damage from all attacks. Hallucinations last for a limited time and automatically disappear when hit by spells (eg. EMP shockwave, Mind Control).

StarCraft II
The Just an Illusion achievement can be awarded if 15 hallucinations are created.
Sentries produce false copies of units to distract opponents. Duplicates have the same number of hit points as the original but take double the damage. The number of hallucinations created depends on the unit: gateway units spawn in twos, probes in fours, and all other units spawn one.
Hallucinations are instantly destroyed by psionic storm and are detected by detectors.
The sentry can create duplicates of units that the player doesn't meet the tech requirements for, but cannot make hallucinations of dark templar
As of Heart of the Swarm, hallucination no longer needs to be researched.
