... You have a lucid moment from your Alzheimer's... look around you at this Truman Show existence... and wonder if you're actually having a lucid moment.
A German Alzheimer's nursing home did this recently, except the staff recreated life in East Germany with the art, interior design, and memorabilia in "remembrance rooms" (since the residents were all from the former DDR). They found that when in a familiar environment, the patients see improved brain function and independence.
