Minds lost

It is said that Robert Louis Stevenson wrote Dr. Jekylly Mr. Hyde in a dream that took into which saw an acquaintance-someone-appreciated that became suddenly be in a monstrous and evil.

His novel was therefore a literary form of recreating a frequent occurrence in the consultations: the illusion of Political decoy, which makes the affected believe that someone close has been replaced by an impostor, a double almost identical physically but disturbingly different on the ground emotional .

Curiously, this illusion never occurs globally, but associated with a specific person.

Why is it so special? If one forgets the hallucination and focuses on emotion, the answer is easy: supplanted often a lover, family member or friend, someone wanted in any case, whose loyalty is in doubt for some time because there was a confrontation or a disappointment that it has become emotionally ambiguous.

Thus, one said: "I want and I think I wanted because it was good, as Jekyll, but I'm not sure. To console the brain makes me believe that this subject does not love because it has been replaced by another. Now is bad. Now is Hyde. "
