Doppelgänger is a visual insight into people who have imaginary friends.
“The ‘imaginary friend’ syndrome is an overactive imagination disorder. It
consists in creating a reassuring mental companion in order to cope with
a troubling situation. Imaginary friends can last until adulthood and may
then reveal a deep sorrow.
