Sully’s argument is that there is no sharp line between illusion and ordinary perception: the same processes produce both. He works through illusions of sense, of dreams, of memory, of introspection and of belief, and uses each to show how much construction goes into what we take for direct experience.

A classic study of how reliably the mind gets things wrong. Download the free EPUB.
