In psychology I think there is a term called confabulation. Loosely, it means “tell stories around something”.
An example is Anton-Babinsky syndrome.
There’s also the even stranger inverse of Anton’s syndrome (I forgot the name) where a patient can physically avoid objects, even drive a car through traffic in one case, but is not aware of what he/she sees.
And then of course there’s the phantom limb syndrome.
And what people call schizophrenia, but is often paracusia.
Some psychology tests have demonstrated confabulation in everyday events. Our brain seems to have an urge for rationalising what we perceive or how we behave, and often make incorrect conclusions.
Since I found out about this, I sometimes second-guess my own thoughts. So, you guys better check the links I sent. I could be making this all up. :-).
