[Psychopathological significance of fantasy proneness as measured by the Creative Experiences Questionnaire: a meta-analysis].

CONCLUSION: The psychopathological relevance of fantasy proneness is broader than just dissociative symptoms. The modest correlation between trauma and fantasy proneness suggests that, apart from trauma, other causal antecedents of fantasy proneness exist. What fantasy proneness, dissociation, and magical ideation have in common is that they are manifestations of apophenia, i.e., the tendency to overinterpret reality.
