They listened while I told them about the "little people with hats" (a common sight apparently, and more common than real life people) and cartoon characters and the like, then burst out laughing and said they could not wait til that happened to them!! It sounded like such fun.<BR/><BR/>There is a theory that says that the brain is so starved for visual input that it makes stuff up in order to stave off boredom. It is especially prevalent in those who are imaginative, creative people who are well-educated and live alone. All of this makes an awful lot of sense if imagination and sight work together to form images in our brain. <BR/><BR/>The best news is that there is no psychological disease associated with this syndrome- it is present in the absence of mental illness. The worst news is, unless people are made aware of the possibility beforehand, they often do not tell people because they think they are losing it. It is also present in people with diabetes and glaucoma.<BR/><BR/>THanks for the reminder!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10847768.post-49499303422829579062007-04-07T11:37:00.000+01:002007-04-07T11:37:00.000+01:00Interesting...

Thanks for the links to the sites. I do hope your mum will be ok.
