Is There a Better Way to Learn the Principles of Our Fallible Senses?

i think it's really important to learn these principals of our own fallible senses. And if one person just isn't willing to go through that process, you kind of lose them. i've heard from many people who are aware of this feature of the human brain but don't have a strong belief in it. I also had a strong reaction when i told my brother-in-law about sleep paralysis. He said he'd never experienced anything like it and was shocked at how common it is. It can happen to anyone; we're not talking about ghosts or demons here. We're talking about normal bodily functions such as gorging ourselves on junk food while trying to get some sleep.
