The unconscious mind is a term invented by the 18th century German philosophy romantic philosopher Ser Christopher Riegel and later introduced into English by the poet and essayist Samuel Taylor Coleridge. The unconscious mind might be defined as that part of the mind which gives rise to a collection of mental phenomena that manifest in a person's mind but which the person is not aware of at the time of their occurrence. These phenomena include unconscious feelings, unconscious or automatic skills, unnoticed perceptions, unconscious thoughts, unconscious habits and automatic reactions, complexes, hidden phobias and concealed desires. The unconscious mind can be seen as the source of night dreams and automatic thoughts (those that appear without apparent cause). It can be seen as the repository of memories that have been forgotten but that may nevertheless be accessible to consciousness at some later time. It can be seen as the locus of implicit knowledge, i.e. all the things that we have learned so well that we do them without thinking. A familiar example of the operation of the unconscious is the phenomenon where one thinks about some problem, cannot find a solution but wakes up one morning with a new idea that unlocks the problem. Observers throughout history have argued that there are influences on consciousness from other parts of the mind. These observers differ in the use of related terms, including: unconsciousness as a personal habit; being unaware and intuition. Terms related to semi-consciousness include: awakening, implicit memory, the subconscious, subliminal messages, trance, hypnagogia, and hypnosis. Although sleep, sleep walking, dreaming, delirium and coma may signal the presence of unconscious processes, these processes are not the unconscious mind. Science is in its infancy in exploring the limits of consciousness. From Wikipedia under the

This is just want my theory is. I do not know if it is true or not.

For example, in the terms of repressed memories. Let's say that while a child was in the room while his mother was getting abused by his father, he focused on a spider that was crawling over the floor. Twenty years later, the person has a phobia of spiders. (Of course, people fear spiders for different reason, but you can replace spider with just about any object) Or say that this guys wife has a characteristic that his abusive father had, or his mother had, this could cause him to act out in a different way towards… [cont.] Answered by xayanexchanx - Tue Dec 30 18:33:16 2008 Do you think a collective unconscious mind exists?
Q. Do you think a collective unconscious mind exists? Asked by Rikki - Thu May 8 20:41:17 2008 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments A. I think so. People's brains are very observant, so we probably connect with each other in ways we don't yet understand. But, as with each of our individual unconscious minds, there's a lot of conflict within the collective unconscious.
