[Star Trek] They encounter weird stuff all the time. Why do they always discount an officer's weird perceptions as dreams or hallucinations when it is real 90% of the time? Worse yet, the perceiver often fails to report his or her weird perceptions.

This is a signal to noise thing.  The weird perceptions don't turn out real 90% of the time.  In fact, they very rarely turn out real.  It's just that the times when they're not real don't merit a mention in the logbook and don't get documented in any way.  It seems otherwise to you because you only hear about the times it was real.
