Pretend... Barmecidal feast.
Cancer 8 reveals a positive, constructive and creative dynamic in 'pretending'. Not just make-believe, nor child-like denial of reality, pretend can be a constructive means to bring dreams, imagination and goals projected forward, closer to present reality.
A fine reference for this dynamic can be found in Tales of The Arabian Nights. http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/lang1k1/tale25.htm
In The Story of the Barber's Sixth Brother, we find Barmecide serving a feast that... well, is not there.
Enjoy a quick read of a tale that demonstrates the rewards derived from pretending.
