I have been vastly intrigued by the proposed idea that we all act
based on an unconscious thought or motive that we are not aware of. Sigmund
Freud found this when he was examining female patients who complained about
sleep walking at night, paralysis, and were hallucinating, but had no physical
cause upon examination by doctors. Freud had his patients lay down on the couch
and talk about whatever popped into their head through "free
association" which in some cases brought the unconscious to the conscious
and cured some of their symptoms. Also he believed that dreams were another
form of the unconscious thoughts and motives, which I also find very
interesting. I have never been able to make sense of dreams myself, but when i
heard that it could be unconscious thoughts and motives i have been trying to
see how true that could be. Dreams are so random, so it makes sense that is
possible that your brain is processing your unconscious and projecting it into
your dreams. Freud stated that “dreams are the royal road to the unconscious”,
and I have been following that theory. I like the thought of being able to use
psychoanalysis to help others get over some physical or mental disabilities, or
possible using psychoanalysis for profiling, or some other way beneficial to
society. I think Freud was onto something when he discovered the unconscious,
because it makes a lot of sense because I have been able to look within myself
and reason out some of the things I do with my past or ‘unconscious.’
