there is no term called "normal dementia". There are many types of dementia. Behavioral abnormalities can happen in various kind of dementias. In few it can come in early stages like - frontotempral dementia and dementia with lewy body disease. and in few types it come in later stages of disease like in alzheimers disease. So its not possible to tell the stage of dementia based on hallucinations.
