Summary
The magic in Mirkwood appears, in canon, to be both strong enough that Gandalf is concerned about it and also heavily based in the creation of illusions. Thranduil is deeply connected to his land, and presumably, to this magic.
So, when a horribly injured Thranduil is feverish and hallucinating from shock and loss of blood, those hallucinations also manifest as illusions visible to anyone close enough - whether it's Bilbo, Thorin and the company, Bard or Legolas and Tauriel. They're things he would never normally reveal, for fear of appearing weak or damaged; his worst memories and deepest fears spilled out in front of everyone as Elven healers try to put him back together. -

Kili shook his head. “I would never do that. I know dwarves haven’t left the best impression on you but I’m not Naugladur or my grandfather or even my uncle. And I think you’re very brave and a great king for putting your people first.” [...] “You lived through all of that and yet you’re still here, you still fight. And despite being insanely protective of your people you have enough compassion to help others like the Lakemen or the forest people.” [...] “I admire you.”
THIS. Just THIS. -
