On a related topic, the documentary, Spellbound, is one of my favorite films of all time. I cry repeatedly every time I watch it. It's a funny, touching, inspiring, disturbing and complex film. Watch it!

Pattern recognition is the primary strength of the human intellect, the ability to build a pattern from a small number of points in a sea of chaos.
It is also one of our biggest problems. Once a human being locks into a pattern, the consciousness will eliminate things from view that don't fit the expected pattern.
That explains how two people can live through the same event and recall it differently and evaluate it's "meaning" differently. Each consciousness is predisposed to only see the patterns it has judged as meaningful in the past.
