“Salvador Dali wrote that he wanted, through automatism, (releasing the expression of the unconscious mind from control of the conscious mind) "to systematize confusion and thus help discredit completely the world of reality.”
An excerpt from arthistory-famousartists-paintings.com
“We sometimes act unconsciously, perceive unconsciously, and even think unconsciously, all by the simple reflex of the mechanism.”

“…unconscious attitudes compensating for conscious ones, especially the idea that what is repressed from the consciousness will find expression through the unconscious.”

The idea of the unconscious mind has become of interest to me, as it entails aspects that affect our daily lives without really knowing it. The unconscious mind controls our dreams, which tend to be odd interpretations and combinations of events in a non-sequitur manner. Zoe Beloff's interest in dreams and manifesting them in such a way that convinces her audience that they were made by these psychological thinkers made me interested in this aspect of the mind.
