     Dreaming may be thought of as a generically “creative” act in which almost everyone engages; and dreams have often been found to express extrasensory intrusion. Other creativelike activities that have been shown to express such intrusion includes producing hypnotic dreams, freely drawing, engaging in spontaneous social interaction in a congenial, unstructured group, moving a Ouija board planchette, free playing on the part of children, and making up stories in response to cards from the Thematic Apperception Test.
