Suggested readings:

Plato's _Republic_, book 7)
(specifically the allegory of the cave)

_Treatise concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge_, George Berkeley

(after tumbling through these reading Descartes' _Philosophical
Writings_ might be useful).

(Kierkegaard discussed some issues related to this once, but I can't
remember in which book)

Others too...
