The example on the main page really put a scenario in my head.
Added DiffLines:
'''Basic Trope''': A hallucination that gives important advice/information.
* '''Straight''': Detective Bob begins hallucinating a [[AmazingTechnicolorWildlife pink]] FunnyAnimal hippopotamus named Oswald after going through severe trauma. However, Oswald ends up being very helpful to Bob and helps him solve a case.
* '''Exaggerated''': Detective Bob hallucinates a whole group of {{Funny Animal}}s who help him with everything he needs to do.
* '''Downplayed''': Oswald doesn't give Bob much advice/information on his own, but helps Bob have an "ExplainExplainOhCrap" moment when explaining facts of the case to him.
* '''Justified''': Oswald is able to identify the details that Bob didn't pay much attention to at first.
* '''Inverted''':
** Oswald is completely unhelpful.
** Detective Bob is the one giving advice to his hallucination, Oswald.
* '''Subverted''':
** Oswald seems to be helpful at first, but it turns out that his advice is all {{Non Sequitur}}s.
** It turns out that Oswald is actually real, after Alice reveals that she can see him.
* '''Double Subverted''':
** The {{Non Sequitur}}s have a coded meaning that makes sense.
** Alice was only pretending to be able to see Oswald.
* '''Parodied''': ???
* '''Zig-Zagged''': Oswald is able to help with some details of the case, but is completely clueless on other details.
* '''Averted''':
** Bob doesn't hallucinate.
** Bob's hallucinations never help him in any way.
* '''Enforced''': ???
* '''Lampshaded''': ???
* '''Invoked''': ???
* '''Exploited''': ???
* '''Defied''': ???
* '''Discussed''': "LetMeGetThisStraight you're getting your advice from a talking pink hippo that only you can see?"
* '''Conversed''': "I don't think hallucinations are usually that helpful in real life."
* '''Implied''': Oswald is a case of MaybeMagicMaybeMundane, as it's never specified whether he's just a figment of Bob's imagination or if he's actually real.
