In a way that is true, because your brain constructs a model of the world based on sound and vision and other sensory information, but that model has small flaws because of the information transmission delays in the brain's perceptual processing system and the optimization techniques necessary to process a huge amount of data by a limited brain computing power which can lead to optical illusions and other effects.
In a way that is not true, because when you drive your car into a brick wall at seventy seven miles an hour, you are really injured and your body is really broken, and you will be lucky to survive. Your recovery will take a very long time and you will feel much pain. There seems to be very little illusion in the gut wrenching - jaw grinding agony that you experience. If you take opiate pain killers, at this time, you will experience an unusual sense of well being, nevertheless; but you will still feel much pain.
