Popis:	This paper addresses the question why quantum mechanics is formulated in a unitary Hilbert space, i.e. in a manifestly complex setting. Investigating the linear dynamics of real quantum theory in a finite-dimensional Euclidean Hilbert space hints at the emergence of a complex structure. A widespread misconception concerning the measurement process in quantum mechanics and the hermiticity of observables is briefly discussed. Comment: 7 pages
