Sigmund Freud’s conscious mind, preconscious mind, and

unconscious mind. (Iceberg Analogy)
Freud compared the three levels of the mind to an iceberg when describing them.
The conscious mind, which Freud defined as all the mental operations of which we are
aware, is regarded as the tip of the iceberg. For instance, you might decide to take a
nap right now because you don't feel well. All of our thoughts that we have but aren't
currently actively thinking about are included in our unconscious mind. According to
Freud, the unconscious mind contains ideas that are difficult for us to recall. These
could be traumatic memories or silenced thoughts. There are also preconscious
thoughts that we aren't aware of right now but that we can easily recall if we choose to
or if something prompts us to do so. Even though we aren't using those ideas right now,
we can easily and quickly retrieve them from our unconscious minds. The first episode
happened when I was in my first year of college, I recall. I was spending the weekend
by myself when, all of a sudden, my vision became foggy and the sounds around me
began to fade. It sounded like someone was covering my ears because all sounds were
distorted. I abruptly became fully conscious of my inner thoughts. My mind was racing,
and my heart was beating fast. All of these thoughts were centered on what was
causing these feelings. I felt as though the air wasn't entering my lungs properly
because of my shallow breathing. As a result, anxiety crept up on me in a way I had
never experienced before as a result of my increased awareness of my inner thoughts. I
was afraid of being lost, but now I'm okay. I believe that finding peace and learning
more about yourself can both happen when you are by yourself.
