Brain Tricks

[Nix]

Does anyone else find this amusing/fascinating when your brain hears/translates things that aren't really there?

Just now I walked into the kitchen where the oven has been heating up and despite it obviously not being so, heard the introduction to the Ghostbusters theme.

I aint afraid of no roast!

I have some weird memories that I don't know if were hallucinations or me dreaming. There is this one memory where I was in the sea and I was at the top of a very large wave, it's quite vivid but there is no chance of it happening.

Nope, it was a few ticks from the oven that sounded vaugely like the Ghostbuster's theme. My brain just filled in the gaps.
