   Doubt is a thought. But I know there are such things as   
   hallucinations. Are there such things as hallucinated thoughts? What's   
   the difference between an hallucinated thought and a real one?   
      
   Senses are different from thoughts, we know that, as we can tell   
   generally which things come from senses and which from thoughts.

   It is, just because you doubt one thing, it doesn't mean you have to   
   doubt everything.
