A form of blindness where you can see everything, but recognize nothing
Most of us have had an experience like this: we turn our heads to the side in bed and see a strange shape. It has a weird line to it, and it's an odd color, and it's suspended in a strange way. We're wary. We're confused. Whatever we're experiencing doesn't 'ring a bell,' for us. And then we turn our heads slightly, and recognition dawns. That thing we're seeing was the fringed scarf that we borrowed from someone last night for the walk home through the rain. It's in that weird position because we hung it between the desk and the doorknob to dry.
When we lie back down, most of us keep this sense of recognition. Now that we know what it is, we can see and understand the way the scarf moves in the draft from under the door. Now that we know what we're 'looking' for, we can see it clearly. We can recognize it the way we recognize everything else in our life.
