Descartes wrote Meditation One with the intention of questioning and challenging the beliefs he holds‚ especially of there being a supreme God‚ in order for these beliefs to become stronger.

He then continues by talking about the senses which may sometimes be deceptive. There are still things

One time my senses have deceived me occurred while I was awake watching TV late one night. I don’t remember dozing off‚ but the volume from the TV faded away and everything around me began to slow down. I heard voices and sounds of someone making photo copies from a printer. The voices were from relatives of mine who was asleep. The voices were just conversing with each other. I couldn’t see anyone all I could hear was voices.
