The Homeless Fantasize and Tell Obviously Untrue Stories in Order

The homeless fantasize and tell obviously untrue stories in order to

A) obtain handouts and social services for which they are not eligible.
B) put forward a sense of self that is less demeaning or lacking in meaning than would otherwise be the case.
C) impress those helping them by trying to show that the help is not going to undeserving people.
D) work out their "personal demons" and express anxieties, in much the same way that we all dream and occasionally have nightmares.
