A theory in mental evolution

The subconscience has always been the object of many theories when it comes to studying psychology. This is mainly due to the fact that the subconscious seems to be like religion is to society. It's there to explain everything what we can't explain about the human psychological experience.

For a bit more information, anyone should check out Freudian theories.

On my side, I believe our subconscious is what seperates us from the animals. At least, to the extent of our current knowledge of animals (which is very little). Our subconscious is what is responsible for art, and any form of expression that can be considered less ethical. Dreaming, and especially sleep is still object to many research, something psychology is currently being taken care of. So it is normal we'd assosiate dreaming with the subconscious. Again, many theories, especially of the sexual variety(see Freud damnit), are still being worked on today. Aside from fucking your mother, the other popular idea is that dreaming is an expression of the many facets of our lives, things we often don't care enough to notice consciously the first time around. So if you were to walk by a park without a care to notice, your dreams might have parks in it.

The entertainment departement has been working on using dreams to predict the future.

For my own theory, the subconscious is our interpretation of the real world. Our set psychological rules, the way we see things unfolding and explain them without thought. Art is the process by which something is made abstract. It's creating a 'world' in which rules are bent and distorted.

What we call maturity is the seperation from reality and illusion (our subconscious). This happens when we abide by more and more rules discovered. The more we know how the world work, the less we can dream about what it's not and the rules that haven't been found yet.

I read an interesting book entitled 'the pig that wants to be eaten' and a comment made in it stuck. It basically explains that reality is subjectif because it is always interpreted. The example explained in the book is that a woman would meet a man in a cofee shop. He drops a lucky bunny foot which she picks up and gives to him. Later that day, she witnesses an accident in which the man she had seen early is involved in. She explains to the cops that the only thing she knows of the man is that he takes cofee at the cofee shop and has a lucky rabbit foot. The next week she walks into the cofee shop and the man who had died the week early walks in. She is suprised and he explains that he and his twin brother often get confused. She inquires as to whether or not the man has a lucky rabbit foot. He answers yes. So when the woman told the cops what she knew, was she telling the truth or was she lying. The information checked out by the cops, the dead man had the same habbits as his twin brother. At the time the girl gave the information, what she said was thought to be real and true, but was it anymore? Might it have been the other brother?

So this just to explain how reality is also distorted.
