This is rather a summary of the stages of the beginning of hat I will here call 'mdness' but which actually is more correctly termed wishful thinking or illusion. These cases appear when we know the truth or the given reality but we are not so comfortable with. We would have , especially thought-out actions by human beings. The progression goes first from WISH, to HOPE, then it graduates to the reality.

We would always hope that we had something, or that somethignhad happened; then we would next hope that it is the case. It is only after we had gathered enough information about the subject (or been bold enough to face the reality; either conciously or unciously) that we are able to actually make our conclusion.
