TIL that Sigmund Freud was the one who introduced cocaine in psychiatry.

It was brought in as a remedy for morphine and alcohol abuse.

¿you guys ever think that maybe freud just knew a lot of tboys?

Sometimes a dream of a cigar is just a dream of a cigar.

[hearse-full-of-rats]

Why does freud have to make everything about repressed sexual desire???

[thepursuitofunderstanding]

Excerpts from Carl G. Jung's Memories, Dreams, Reflections: pgs 152 - 154,

"Freud never asked himself why he was compelled to talk continually of sex, why this idea had taken such possession of him. He remained unaware that his "monotony of interpretation" expressed a flight from himself, or from that other side of him which might perhaps be called mystical. So long as he refused to acknowledge that side, he could never be reconciled with himself. He was blind toward the paradox and ambiguity of the contents of the unconscious, and did not know that everything which arises out of the unconscious has a top and a bottom, an inside and an outside. When we speak of the outside--and that is what Freud did--we are considering only half of the whole, with the result that a countereffect arises out of the unconscious. There was nothing to be done about this one-sidedness of Freud's. Perhaps some inner experience of his own might have opened his eyes; but then his intellect would have reduced any such experience to "mere sexuality" or "psychosexuality." He remained the victim of the one aspect he could recognize, and for that reason I see him as a tragic figure; for he was a great man, and what is more, a man in the grip of his daimon." pg 152-153

"Numinous experience elevates and humiliates simultaneously." pg 154

"The psychological truth that sexuality is numinous--both a god and a devil." pg 154

"Wherever the psyche is set violently oscillating by a numinous experience, there is a danger that the thread by which one hangs may be torn." pg 154

"The pendulum of the mind oscillates between sense and nonsense, not between right and wrong." pg 154

“A patient is always surprised when he is told something that unconsciously he already knows. This follows from our designation of surprise as the reaction to the fulfillment of an unconscious expectation. He will take in what was formerly known to him and has only been alienated, as if it were something new, and will repel it. We may now understand the effect, which often does not appear until later, of such a surprising communication, if we recognize it as a kind of psychical shock that it takes time to master.

We shall not be put off by the fact that the patient experiences these surprises within his ego, although he thinks that he is well acquainted with his own inner life. It will seem strange to us that the analyst, too, who has such wide experience, is largely dependent upon receiving such knowledge from unknown powers of the ego, and upon listening for the stirrings within him in tracking the hidden meaning of psychical phenomena. Where the analyst's idea penetrates to the profoundest depths of the other's inner life, it may be recognized as the offspring of what is repressed in the analyst and appears to him as something alien. In short, to sum up the matter: The most vital knowledge obtained by the analyst of the unconscious-repressed is, for him too, a surprise. It is true that this surprise reaction will lose intensity as the analyst gains insight and deeper psychological knowledge. There may come a time when it does not appear at all. But at least in the early years of an analyst's work it remains as a sure signal that his own unconscious is involved in the recognition of unconscious relations. It is not logical reflection and theoretical learning that constitute the core of the preconscious and unconscious knowledge, so helpful to the psychologist in later years in recognizing repressed processes, but the memory-traces of the surprise he has experienced. If, in our analyses of mental effects, we can so often infer hidden, unconscious motives, the inference is of value, not so much as a logical operation but rather as the outcome of repeated insight into the mind that surprised the analyst at first.

We mistrust psychologists who declare that they experience no such surprises, that the unconscious of those whom they study is immediately transparent to them and easy to penetrate. There may be psychoanalysts of such a nature. They are, so to speak, professional experts in the depths of the human soul. The netherworld is their oyster. The psychologist "who is surprised" then stands consciously opposed to those for whom there are no surprises left in the inner life. If these gentlemen boast that they find it easy "to read the other person," that the unconscious lies before them like an open book, then they do not know how to read it. The wonders of the inner reality are hidden from their sight. I know that there are many psychoanalysts who shrink from what is astonishing and set up a defense against what is sur prising in the psychological field, and try to protect themselves against it. They put up a barrier of theoretical learning, to parry and intercept it. But the best of our profession, the most valuable of our art and craft, have learned to appreciate the heuristic value of surprising ideas emerging from the unconscious, and gladly welcome them. (You shall be welcome whenever you come.)

The surprise that is felt when the unconscious meaning of individual phenomena is recognized, when the latent significance of individual symptoms, dreams, strange reactions, is understood, may increase at a later stage, toward the end of the process of analysis. When we survey the development of a neurosis or a special character, our surprise does not diminish when we recognize how the co-operation or confict of particular impulses has produced just this emotional result, how inevitably and yet how naturally just this type of character arose in the play of psychical forces. And so, when his task is accomplished, the psychologist is struck with amazement as he surveys what he has seen of the dynamic and economic conditions of the inner processes. His incipient understanding of the methods by which our mental machinery works will not lessen his amazement, but rather increase it.” (pages 245 - 247)

Oof, yeah, disturbing dreams are very common and normal. To be honest, nobody knows why we (and other animals) dream. Here are my three favorite possible reasons:

1) Organization: Similar to how you can defragment a computer, and it puts all the files so it can find them faster, the brain is sorting and encoding information for tomorrow.

2) Rehearsal: There is lots of evidence to show that our brains operate on a "use it or lose it" principle, to stay efficient. It is highly possible that our brains go through what we might lose soon and use any of the especially important stuff in a dream, like the above mentioned fruit salad.

3) Preparation: This one is the most compelling to me. Essentially, it's possible that our dreams are a simulator for running scenarios that the subconscious thinks are useful for the future. (Public speaking dreams are frequently used as an example for this.) This theory would also explain why people with traumatic experiences have dramatic nightmares for at least a few days, because their subconscious is trying to find solutions to the new life-threatening experiences it doesn't understand.

idk what traumatized or mentally ill person needs to hear this but dreams (especially the really disturbing ones you dont want to talk about to anybody) arent some deep peek into your psyche or a sign of your True Desires or whatever theyre quite literally your brain making fruit salad with whatever it can find on the shelf. just putting all that shit in a blender and hitting obliterate. its fine, youre fine, youre not a weirdo for it

psychoanalysis is actually so silly. i should look into it properly some day

CIRCLING THE SQUARE

Or the other way around, squaring the circle is trying to find by geometric means (compass and straightedge only) one with the same area as the other. But with those same tools you can draw either a square or a circle and nothing is preventing them from having the same area. You can also think it out, if mathematically inclined, as it’s something about the square root of pi.  But this…
