Anthropromorphism is the attribution of human characteristics to objects.
We do this all the time - in our thinking, stories, jokes, and dreams. And often times we don't realize we are doing it.
Even many things we think of as fundamental are in reality not facts about the world so much as they are facts about humans.
I think there is a Shakespeare quotes that goes something like "Nothing is good or bad, but thinking makes it so."
