What I always wonder when this happens is, did I actually come up with something witty in a dream or did my brain just generate the feeling of having come up with something witty without actually having a cause.
I had a dream once where I had 3 really good ideas for a particular product but when I woke up I couldn't remember the 3rd and best idea. Then I started wondering if there actually was a 3rd idea or did my dream just skip to the "That's a great idea" stage with no actual idea, leaving me with just the feeling.
Brilliant clip. :) I'm sure we've all had dreams that feel like that. If I had to put a point on it for this one, the "self-play" game happening here is your brain serving up instantaneous new plausible and unanticipated excuses for why you can't see the object that you're struggling to get a glimpse of!

Brains are weird, dreams doubly so.
