Given the overall context, I think that it actually means "an imaginary situation", more along the lines of my initial interpretation ("fantasy"), because this chapter addresses emotions that are inhibited because of the fear that is felt in response to what are perceived to be dangerous situations. It has to do with the "fight or flight" approach when it comes to how one reacts to what seems to be a threatening event.
