ABSTRACT

This chapter shows that mathematical space represents a conceptual frame on which man projects and ordains his observations about the physical world. It shows that there exists a natural tendency to use the concept of space when referring to psychological phenomena. The chapter reviews some phenomena which at first sight appear chaotic and incomprehensible to theorists ordinary logic and which become well ordained and understandable if they are projected onto the conceptual frame of a space of more than three dimensions. Psycho-analysts seem to have become so used to the characteristics of the unconscious that the natural surprise that one experiences when confronted by the strange world that they outline seems to be almost forgotten. There are various possible approaches to the question of the possibility of finding an order in the apparent illogicality of the unconscious. The study of dreams is the best approach to the unconscious.
