ABSTRACT
Memories have a rhythm and so has the unconscious. Character is built through rhythm. Rhythms of the "true self", or what Eigen calls "psyche-music", makes up the first unconscious identifications and translations of the ego and its objects. Freud remarks that dreams and telepathy are mutually exclusive because in dreams we are repressing and distorting the unconscious, whereas in telepathy the unconscious is descriptive, a more straightforward communication between the ego and the internal or external world. The unconscious is our virtual or dream past that is both general and shadowy; and it is the ghosts of this virtual past that suggest our more embodied actual life. Without the unconscious telepathy of being able to dream our desires into reality, the negation of thinking becomes a negation of life; an autism where perception of the world breaks down because it has become too delinked from the dreaming ego.
