Dreams and lies

Since the first post was actually nae shite, I'll need to deliver a quick thought.

I've been caught lying a good few times and the majority of the times, it's been around situations where the truth would have been a better option but there is nothing wrong with a good lie if it doesn't hurt anybody I guess, providing it's nothing seriously fucked up, like I killed your dad and saying that as an excuse to break up. That's just wrong (But slightly funny)

The human body is a weird thing but you can't help but feel that sometimes, your body is trying to trick you out for it's own amusement (You can't spell amusement without semen....) Your body may be doing this for several reasons;
1) It may simply not like you, you drink too much, eat too much, smoke too much and sleep too little.
2) You complain about your body a lot, how many woman say they're fat (which is another rant for another day)
3) Like a happy meal, your body will never truely be the one you wanted. (By the happy meal idea, I mean that you get your happy meal and get your toy out and you look at the box and see your toy with others but given a choice, that is not the toy you would have chosen; although if you were given a choice of toys before you got given yours, would your mind be swayed? Maybe you only want another happy meal toy because you have already played with the one you have got?)

I'm going off track here, the point is this. Why when you lie, does your brain automatically decide that it's unimportant information?

Seriously, you'd expect that you'd remember lies but if you lie to somebody and they ask you a question about it in one week's time, you will not remember what you said. Then you try and lie again but you can never create the same lie twice, there are always inconsistancies with lies which people remember and you get caught out. Then suddenly you look a right knob.

Now what does all this have to do with dreams? Your brain forgets dreams, probably before you've even woken up, your brain is like, fuck this shit. This is not important at all, this dream is not getting shelved, it's getting deleted.

However if you wake up at the right moment and tell somebody about this dream, they'll remember it and in a few hours you won't.

Then in a years time, you're friend will tell you a fucked up story, that you created in your dream and told them about yet cannot remember. It's kind of what I imagine watching your favourite movie with Alzheimer's disease would be like.
