> dhw: Freud and Jung's work and others called to me to study from a very young age. I look forward to any new information and understanding of the mysteries of the unconscious mind. It seems that aspect of the human mind is asleep until the conscious aspect falls asleep. Then the unconscious wakes and lives it's own life out in our minds until we awake. But even so, as the article points out, all of our lives are molded by both the conscious and the unconscious, that which we KNOW and remember and that which we don't. Imagine what kind of being we would be if both aspects of ourselves were fully aware and awake at all times. Mind blowing to think about.-Firstly, I'm sure your deep interest in this subject greatly helped you as you created personalities in your plays and books. Secondly, as you recognize the depth of consciousness and unconsciousness in humans, how much unconsciousness do you expect is present in apes? Different in kind!
