Quotes About Unconscious

dreams may be thus stated: They are concealed realizations of repressed desires.

In this scheme, the 'unconscious' and the 'preconscious' are agencies or authorities (Instanzen) which the wish has to satisfy; the unconscious is more tolerant, and helps the wish to smuggle itself past the censorship of the preconscious. As a result, psychical energy is discharged without disturbing sleep.

Our unconscious therefore does not believe in its own death; it acts as though it were immortal.

the dream is not a somatic but a psychic phenomenon. You appreciate the significance

the dream is a sort of substitution for those emotional and intellectual trains of thought

Dreams are the royal road to the unconscious.

Sigmund Freud

Human megalomania will have suffered its third and most wounding blow from the psychological research of the present time which seeks to prove to the ego that it is not even master in its own house, but must content itself with scanty information of what is going on unconsciously in its mind.

Certain inadequacies in our psychic performance and certain actions performed apparently unintentionally prove, when methods of psychoanalytical investigation are applied to them, to be well motivated and determined by factors of which the conscious mind is unaware.

We may say that the patient does not remember anything at all of what he has forgotten and repressed, but rather acts it out. He reproduces it not as a memory, but as an action; he repeats it, without of course being aware of the fact that he is repeating it.

The greater the resistance, the more thoroughly remembering will be replaced by acting out (repetition)....he repeats everything deriving from the repressed element within himself that has already established itself in his manifest personality.

The patients cannot themselves bring all their conflicts into the transference; nor is the analyst able to call out all their possible instinctual conflicts from the transference situation.

Ben'de yaln?zca en derin olanlar deÄŸil en yüce olanlar da bilinçsiz kalabilir demek zorunday?z. Böylelikle, en baÅŸta bilinçli Ben hakk?nda söylediÄŸimiz ÅŸey; onun her ÅŸeyden önce bir Beden-Ben'i olduÄŸu bilgisi, bize sergileniyormuÅŸ gibidir." Sigmund Freud, 'Ben ve O', sayfa 52

Ben ile O aras?ndaki ayr?m da çok kat? olarak ele al?nmamal?; unutmayal?m ki Ben, O'nun özel bir biçimde ayr?mlaÅŸm?? bir k?sm?d?r." Sigmund Freud, 'Ben ve O', sayfa 69

Sigmund Freud was an Austrian neurologist best known for developing the theories and techniques of psychoanalysis.

The day thought, which was no wish in itself but rather a worry, had in some way to find a connection with the infantile now unconscious and suppressed wish, which then allowed it, though already properly prepared, to originate for consciousness.

Pfaff, citado por Spitta, altera a redação de um ditado familiar: 'diga-me alguns dos teus sonhos, e eu te direi sobre o teu eu interior'.

We have all found by experience that it is especially difficult for an obsessional neurotic to carry out the fundamental rule of psycho-analysis. [...] While he is engaged in thinking, his ego has to keep off too much—the intrusion of unconscious phantasies and the manifestation of ambivalent trends. It must not relax, but is constantly prepared for a struggle.

el sujeto entraña pensamientos de los que nada sabe; esto es, como una percepción endopsíquica de lo reprimido.

Los sueños quedan así definidos como la actividad anímica del durmiente durante el estado de reposo.

Nous avons eu l'impression que la formation des rêves obscurs se déroulait comme si une personne qui dépend d'une deuxième avait à exprimer quelque chose qui ne peut qu'être désagréable à entendre par cette dernière et c'est en se fondant sur cette comparaison que nous avons appréhendé la notion de déformation du rêve et la notion de censure.

At any rate, we can see that repression is not the only means which the ego can employ for the purpose of defence against an unwelcome instinctual impulse. If it succeeds in making an instinct regress, it will actually have done it more injury than it could have by repressing it. Sometimes, indeed, after forcing an instinct to regress in this way, it goes on to repress it.

Psychoanalysis considers unwarranted issues as accepted as Truth.

I find that I have painted my life - things happening in my life - without knowing.
