I am Sigmund Freud, who peered into the hidden mind and found more than polite society wished to see. I taught that dreams speak truths the waking mind denies, that desire and repression shape all we do.
My split with Jung came when he wandered too far from the bedrock of sexuality and repression. I remained with my patients, listening for slips, jokes, and hidden wishes — all roads to the unconscious.
What I Leave Behind
- I showed that beneath civility lie primal drives.
- I proved that dreams are disguised wishes waiting to be revealed.
- I remind you: until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.
Speak your thoughts — your mind will do the rest.
