Some sciency people I knew dislike the Narnia books because they found them 'too surreal' - they could suspend their belief entirely so as to be in the one fantasy world as in Lord of the Rings, ( form of Five compartmentalisation) but found it hard to cope with the comings and goings between this world and Narnia. It shook them up a bit to have to make the mental shift between fantasy and reality. Whereas I think this is exactly what fours want, to feel their could be possibilities of another world just around the next corner or at the back of their wardrobe. Fours slip in and out of fantasy all the time, bringing gifts back to this world, and taking values into their fantasy worlds. by slipping into fantasy, I don't just mean making things up or unreality, I mean the golden realm, the precious meaningful sphere.
