Reality tunnel is a term coined by Timothy Leary (1920-1996) and popularised by Robert Anton Wilson (1932-2007), akin to the idea of representative realism.
The theory states that, with a subconscious set of mental "filters" formed from their beliefs and experiences, every individual interprets the same world differently, hence "Truth is in the eye of the beholder".
