Is it normal to have your eyes/brain play tricks on you?

Like seeing things at first glance, only to find it wasn't exactly as you originally interpreted.

Example: Seeing a yellow fire hydrant and thinking it was someone in a yellow coat.

Reading something like: "He thought it was a door", when it was originally "She thought it was a score"

Or even feeling/hearing your phone vibrate/ring when it didn't.

So on and so forth.

Obviously worrying about these blunders makes it worse.

Is it normal?

    The other day I freaked out because I thought a spider was crawling on my shoulder. Turns out it was just the tassel from my hat. Then I looked around to see if anyone witnessed my little freakout.

    Lol I was thinking of putting a post on here exactly the same, yesterday! I do it all the time! I'll see things like what I think is a dead fox in the road, then I look a second time and realise it's an old coat or a dustbin sack or something!

    Yeah, I do it constantly.

    The fire hydrant-related: I glanced around at my friend and mistook her for a dog. (She isn't small or anything, it was just the worst case I had of my eyes playing tricks on me.)

    The Reading one: I was Reading 'The murder of the dog at midnight' (or something like that), and where it said 'my rat, Toby' I thought it said 'My cat, Yogi'.

    The phone ringing: I constantly have to check my bag to see if my phone had actually rung, and only about 3 times out of ten, it was actually ringing.

    Help any? Rated NORMAL ;)
