Description

Freud’s discovery of the dynamic unconscious is his most important contribution to our understanding of the human mind. It was Freud’s aim to study, in detail, the content & the alien mode of thinking of the unconscious mind. Freud showed the continuity between dreams, puzzling neurotic & psychotic symptoms, slips of the tongue & a multitude of errors which reveal the existence of the unconscious mind. This book explains that while we may have illusions of autonomy & conscious awareness of our motivations, we are often ‘lived by’ the conscious which dwells within, revealing its controlling influence within the dramas of sleep. The unconscious can be a source of guidance as well as subversion, evoking both awe & dread.
