Noc Vvyne’s Reviews > On Creativity and the Unconscious > Status Update

Some points i like, some points left me cold: I wish to believe that the memory of dream and delusion material tells me more about my other wishes (which might be as shameful as my female Oedipus complex, but it is not ALL & ONLY about my Oedipus complex)

Freud described events when people give up, or regressed into some guilt complex on the attainment of the long-desired wish. Reflecting in the tendency in myself, the end of one dream should be the beginning of another, not the end of everything. We only regress because of the limit of imagination to stop at wish fulfilment. Ask, what would I do when I attain the dream.

"How the writer accomplishes this is his innermost secret: the essential ars poetica lies in the technique by which our feeling of repulsion is overcome, and this this certainly to do with those barriers errected between every individual being and others.""Perhaps much that brings about this result consists in the writer's putting us into a position in which we can enjoy our own day-dreams without reproach or shame."
