Ponder This:

This post is dedicated to subjects that I have been keeping tab on recently that I have not had the time to sit down and make any official posts about... if one of these subjects gives you some inspiration for topic discussion, fire away in my comments section and I’ll continue any discussions that spur from this, because they are all pretty interesting topics for consideration...

Freud Topics:

1. Does coming to a perfect understanding of individual "forms" allow us to understand and use our Superconscious Intuition?
(Superconscious Intuition: the ability to realize that there is something wrong before it happens, i.e. having that unsettling feeling in your stomach right before you enter the spooky looking house that might collapse on you).

2. Can we somehow quantify the unconsciousness? And if we can... would Freud be right about his assumptions about what was going on in the unconscious?


Hobson and Soames:

3. If dreams are repressed thoughts from being an infant, then what do infants dream?

4. If dreaming is a very deep powerful state of otherworldly consciousness, then do the states of "high" and "hallucinating" just alter our consciousness enough that we are still awake, but feel like we are approaching the familiar state of dreaming, and thus allowing ourselves to explore our unconsciousness more thoroughly? (Have fun with this one)
