You wake up from a deep sleep,
eight hours undisturbed, look sideways to see whether you are still in a
familiar world and thereafter do a few tasks before chucking away. The young
man, full of energy courageously crosses the road and Alas! ‘Where did I see
this woman?’ The woman passes by and too conscious of the environment, my
friend turns with a style to look back. Tapping his head for such a bad mind, he
tends to move on just before he remembers where he was with the woman….in his
sleep.
On Google, I went with the search
of ‘condition of confusing something to another’. Google isn’t yet devolved, is
it? I was taken to a medical list of herpes, skin diseases and other maladies
that one would think most of us are sick. I know there is a term for it as
there is anaesthesia where one stimulation can simultaneously attract another. You
can see a bulb as danger or one’s mouth as an eye!
Before we find the term, let us
use Wikipedia’s nearest term to the situation- mental confusion. It states ‘These refer to the loss of orientation
or the ability to place oneself correctly in the world by time, location; and
personal identity. Mental confusion is sometimes accompanied by disordered consciousness
(the loss of linear thinking) and memory loss (the ability to correctly
recall previous events or learn new material)’. It is not about delirium or
such extent of a problem. It is about those small ‘lapse’ moments that come in
between even the active of moments.
Have you not gone from the house
singing to the end the song you were listening to? Has one song never taken the
better part of your days? It does not matter whether you sung it well or not
because when lyrics are hard, you can hum or whistle. Have you never withdrawn
your curse word when you found out that you had said it in a foreign forum?
My friend likes playing candy
crash and she drooled to start tapping the empty air before her. And she was smiling
at her wins! A lover of computer shooting games saw the airplane above him and
wondered where in his world he had shot at it! A child confuses everything to a
play object and that may not be the comparison here.
During normal working or talking
time, a man has suddenly and severally asked, ‘How are you?’ The girl, mature
enough to see it not as a bother has always severally replied, ‘I am good my
friend’. A footballer has always seen two trees or stands as goal posts. A
driver has always looked for a way on a small path in case he came there with a
lorry, speaking to himself what ridge would be filled and what bump would be
lowered.
It has happened at many times that I meet a stranger whom I confuse to a person I know. And it doesn't happen to be a miracle when that person visits or calls you later in the day. And many more of that…is it a special attribute?....have you
experienced some?
