illusion

Generally, a delusion, deception, or false perception. Illusion is, like appearance, usually contrasted with reality. The concept is often used in the philosophy of perception and in epistemology. It is only by trusting some experiences that we can identify others as illusory, so the occurrence of illusions does not mean that everything is illusory.
