Deciphering the Mental Labyrinth: Freud, Dreams and Poetry on an Intriguing Journey"

"Thesis: Through the exploration of Freudian theories, the interconnection between dreams and
mythology, as well as the analogy with poetry, a complex plot emerges that challenges deep-
rooted convictions and pushes us to delve into the darkest corners of "Our psyche. Despite the
seemingly disconcerting nature of these perspectives, their significance lies in their ability to
encourage critical thinking, expand our understanding, and continue to reveal the hidden
dimensions of the human experience."

In a universe full of psychological enigmas, an intriguing journey is presented that invites us to

delve into the depths of the human mind. Thus, the mental tour begins with the iconic figure of
Freud, whose hat and pipe guide us through the psychological complexities in "The Pleasure of
Reading Freud." This journey is, in essence, a journey to the heart of your restless mind, a mind
that reveals that hidden desires and repressed emotions are hidden inside us, ready to emerge like
balloons about to explode. However, we are accompanied by Juan David Nasio, who acts as a
psychological guide and makes us understand that not all Freudian ideas remain firm in the
contemporary world. Like those toys of yesteryear forgotten in the corner of the closet, some of
Freud's theories may have lost their relevance in the current context.

Abruptly, we enter an intellectual fairy tale, when Calle reveals to us that our dreams engage in
secret conversations with Greek mythology in "The unconscious and dreams: correspondence with
the Greek Hades." In a surprising twist, our moments of rest at night become a kind of mystical
WhatsApp with the Olympic gods. Do we send messages through dreams to Hades himself?
Although such a notion might seem taken from a science fiction novel, one truth persists: our
dreams resemble a drawer full of disconcerting elements, sometimes resembling fragments of a
surreal film.

Next, the surprising statement emerges that "The unconscious is structured like a poem." Yes
really! This bold comparison posits that our mind is a poem of gigantic and chaotic proportions.
However, do we truly have a poem in our minds? Often our mental perceptions are more like a
jumble of disorganized voice notes on a phone. Who could interpret its meaning? The reality is
that equating the mind with a poem is like trying to fit a whale in a fish tank. Despite this, such an
analogy instills an air of interest and curiosity around the conception of our psyche.

Freud is not left out of this mental feast, since in "Repression", he tells us that we all act as
detectives of our emotions, hiding fragments under the carpet of our conscience. Repression is like
hiding a slice of chocolate cake in the back of the refrigerator so no one else will discover it.
However, a dilemma arises: does this impact our actions? Could it be that we live fictitious lives,
avoiding the confrontation of the truth? This question resembles a culinary dilemma, where
deciding between chocolate cake and salad for lunch poses a conflicting choice.
Through The relationship between dreams and Greek mythology is fascinating, but exploring how
various cultures interpret dreams offers a broader perspective. In civilizations such as the
Egyptians, dreams were seen as divine portals, connecting with other worlds and communicating
messages from the gods. Aboriginal Australians viewed dreams as mythical events that persisted in
reality, using rituals to connect with ancestors and relive mythical dreams. In medieval Japan,
dream and reality were intertwined in poetry, creating poetic places based on dreams and
everyday life. These examples show that dreams are interpreted as doorways to the divine, threads
connecting past and present, and artistic inspiration. This connection between dreams and
mythology transcends cultures, demonstrating the human fascination with the unknown and
mystical. In short, dreams unite humanity across borders, reflecting the complexity of the human
mind and the constant search for meaning.

This dizzying journey through the human mind leaves us in a state of greater confusion. Freud
incites us to reflect, Calle transports us on a mysterious odyssey with the Hellenic gods and
someone suggests that our minds are like chaotic poems. What is the way forward in the face of
this avalanche of information? Although we lack a definitive answer, one certainty remains: our
mind is an amusement park with unexpected turns around every corner. In this sense, let's get on
the merry-go-round of emotions and take advantage of the roller coaster ride that is the human
experience.
