Also known as NRS, this temporary loss of reality occurs when you invite a good friend to move in with you. For a brief period anything seems feasible, and impossible promises like "you can borrow my car" and "I'll help you buy things" are made in a haze of idealism. The potential roommate is quickly infected (this syndrome is highly contagious) and takes on the same delusions. Symptoms begin wearing off after several weeks and than fade completely when the individual is ejected and you never speak again.
