A psychiatric term. It refers to the perception of an object differently than it actually is, such as when a cloud in the sky looks like the face of a great monk, or a stain on an old wall looks like an animal. It occurs when consciousness is clear or barely impaired, the critical ability is maintained, and the person knows that what is actually a cloud or a stain is a psychiatric disorder. It is often experienced during febrile illnesses, but can also occur during delirium and drug intoxication such as LSD.

精神医学の用語。空の雲が大入道の顔にみえたり,古壁のしみが動物に見えたりするように,対象が実際とは違って知覚されることをいう。意識が明瞭ないしはほとんど障害されていない状態で起きるもので,批判力は保たれ,それが本当は雲であり,しみであるとわかっている。熱性疾患のときにしばしば体験されるが,ほかに譫妄(せんもう),LSDなどの薬物酩酊時にも出現する。【小見山 実】
