Apophenia :

the tendency to mistakenly perceive connections and meaning between unrelated things.

Klaus Conrad (1958) : "unmotivated seeing of connections [accompanied by] a specific feeling of abnormal meaningfulness".

Apophenia has come to imply a human propensity to seek patterns in random information, such as gambling.
