The Brain is the least understood part of human anatomy.  Considering this as a fact, and that the eyes (like all other parts of the body) are controlled by the brain, reality is all about perception of senses.  We as humans can be tricked into believing that things are three-dimensional, floating, transparent, or even close to us (how close are stars to earth?)....\n\nI guess you could contemplate anything as reality...so you could see nearly anything...or if you contemplate nothing you could see nothing.\n\n    This message is not really here...it's all perception.\n\nAre you reading this?

Perhaps, I have not communicated with a star or a grain of sand, but this might just be a communication problem.\nI am that I am.\nA catchy phrase.\nSelf awareness.  Being.  But are you so sure of the awareness of anything else?  Just because you have a point of view does not mean that you are separated from the Universe as a whole.  It just means that you have a point of perception, a sinularity of awareness.\nPerhaps the boundary between yourself and the rest of the Universe is a boundary that you imagined?  What if it is not real?  Then how about the dividing lines between mind and body and heart and any other constructs that you might have imagined as well?  And in addition, how about all those items "Out there" beyond your ego boundary that you might consider not you?  What if these are imagined as well?\nBy imagined, I do not wish to imply make-believe.  Just believe.  Perhaps the Universe is too big and complex to deal with, so our pitiful being slices it up in order to "make sense" out of that which is beyond our ability to understand.\nThis might put a whole new twist on the concept of objective reality.

an erroneous mental representation \nsomething many people believe that is false; "they have the illusion that I am very wealthy" \ndelusion: the act of deluding; deception by creating illusory ideas \nmagic trick: an illusory feat; considered magical by naive observers \n\n\nAn illusion is a distortion of a sensory perception. Each of the human senses can be deceived by illusions, but visual illusions are the most well known. Some illusions are subjective; different people may experience an illusion differently, or not at all.

yeah, you have it right pretty much. \n\nSeem: "1. To give the impression of being; appear: The child seems healthy, but the doctor is concerned. 2. To appear to one's own opinion or mind: I can't seem to get the story straight. 3. To appear to be true, probable, or evident: It seems you object to the plan. It seems like rain. He seems to have worked in sales for several years. 4. To appear to exist: There seems no reason to postpone it."

Do you mean imagery? Imagery is language which evokes one of your five senses. This would give a visual image of something which you normally hear.

What does that mean? I believe in nature because I can experience with my senses. Who doesn't believe in nature?

Knowledge is based on what you can see touch feel smell and hear.  Belief is the decision to recognize something that you have no real proof exists.

An hallucination is a sensory perception experienced in the absence of an external stimulus, as distinct from an illusion, which is a misperception of an external stimulus. Hallucinations may occur in any sensory modality - visual, auditory, olfactory, gustatory, tactile, or proprioception (sense of balance and position in space).

It could be a form of synesthesia.  Synesthesia is basically when your brain gets a bit cross-wired.. for example, a visual stimulation triggers an auditory perception.   So perhaps, your visual stimulation is triggering some emotional perceptions.\n\nActually, now that I think about it, it seems more like empathy.\n\nSounds interesting, though!

Perception, the minimum level of a stimulus that is peceived is the threshold.

Good answer above. I think it's Subjective vs Objective and Impressions vs Facts.

Sensation is simple, a taste of sweetness on the tongue, a feeling of smooth hardness on the skin.  Perception is more complex, like knowing that what you're tasting is chocolate, that what you're feeling is your desk.\n\nLook carefully at how your book makes the distinction.  Almost every psychology text will do it a little differently.
