I thought perhaps my conception of what the unconscious mind is may be a little bit narrow if it just contained Sigmund Freud, also, his theories may not be correct or may be considered to not withstand modern day ideas etc...
A more general research of the unconscious mind may help me develop my argument and what to be discussed in the 4th chapter of the dissertation.
Of course wikipedia is not a reliable source of information, however it is a starting point - a framework for me to begin my research:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconscious_mind
-Concept of the unconscious was popularised and developed by Freud
-Empirical evidence suggests that unconscious phenomena include repressed
feelings, automatic skills, subliminal perceptions, thoughts, habits,
and automatic reactions,[1]
possibly also complexes, hidden phobias and desires

-In psychoanalytic theory, unconscious processes are understood to be expressed in dreams in a symbolical form, as well as in slips of the tongue and jokes
