Moran's Law of Dreams

The Herald has learned that a new law is set to join Murphy's Law and Sod's Law in the canon of metascientific legislation. Moran's Law states that dreams are only interesting to other people as long as they don't know they are dreams.

It manifests itself in the boredom of one's companions when faced with the imminent retelling of one's overnight phantasm, compared to the avidity of their interest when they think the same tale is an account of real events.
