ABSTRACT

The dream images can resemble known figures or objects from people conscious life or the personal unconscious level of the psyche, yet they can emerge from a collective and totally unknown matrix. The connecting elements of time and space may become very loose, thus making the images more complex and confusing for the conscious psyche to handle. This chapter explores both Freudian and Jungian agrees that the messages in dreams are of an unconscious nature; furthermore, this faculty of the psyche is expressing and revealing what is unknown to consciousness as images. It also explores Martino and Marks make a distinction between strong and weak cases of synaesthesia. The notion of intention may imply that Martino and Marks' division into strong and weak synaesthetic motion might be too extreme to allow the whole synaesthetic experience to become a branch of image-processing psychic phenomenon rather just a neurological peculiarity.
