As paratrooper I had over a 100 jumps and sometimes my bell got rung pretty hard, sometimes I got knocked out for a short period when my head inadvertently hit the ground by accident. I guess I should be having repressed memories of being a second class citizen in my own country due to the Democrats and their communist allies along with Illegal Aliens. Those memories tell me that my hard work and taxes are then given to those who refuse to work or illegally gain welfare monies. Now the issue my brain actively tells me is to be afraid, very afraid when it dark outside and I am walking and have to pass a group of single black male.... My brain reminds me I was assaulted twice by groups of blacks in Guyana. My brain now tells me being afraid of blacks is a calculated risk not worth taking and to avoid areas and members of this group. My brain tells me Democrats are liars down to the youngest voter; the same but rather nuanced claim for my conservative friends but at least it is our version of the lie.

If they're just looking at brain injury, they're going down the wrong path. For example, how can a man, maybe in his 40s, dream that he's still in college or even high school, naked, walking down the hallway, wondering how it is that he's going to the final exam for a class he just remembered he had but never went to the entire semester?
Or that he can fly, and somehow just figured this out?
Figure out how we dream these crazy things that we believe completely (while asleep), and you've taken a big first step. And you've got plenty of available subjects.

Interesting.
As an aside, I don’t like the usurpation of the word confabulation for this.

Make it up as you go. Believe it. No one can say you are wrong.
Then chop your penis off just to show them you were right !

Confabulation is one of the symptoms of “Wet Brain”. I saw it first hand with a close family member before he drank himself to death. The alcoholic starves the brain of nutrients and it slowly starts dying and it is irreversible brain damage.

That is a noble effort, jiggy, but I just spent 8 years watching a President tap dance.

Brian Williams is poster boy for Wet Brain syndrome. :)
His picture is in the medical dictionary, next to that definition! :)
