In a party game, one person leaves the room with the understanding that someone else will relate a recent dream to the remaining group. ███ ██████ ████ ███████ ███ █████ ██ ███████████ ███ █████ ██ ██████ ████ █████████ ██████████ ██ █████ ██ █████ ███ ████ ████████ ███ █████ ██████ ███████ ███ █████████ █████████ ██ ████ █████████ █████ █████████████ ███ ██████ ███████ ██████████ █ █████ █████████ ████ ██ ████ ████████ ███ ██████████
In a party game, Person A steps out of the room, believing that Person B is sharing a recent dream with the rest of the group. Person A comes back and tries to reconstruct the dream by asking yes-or-no questions. But in reality, no dream was shared. The group just answers based on an arbitrary rule. Surprisingly, Person A usually makes up a dream story that is both coherent and clever, even though the “real” dream was never explained.
People tend to try to make sense out of information, even when there is no sense behind it.
The belief that something is coherent and meaningful can cause someone to infuse that thing with coherence and meaning.
