The Ego and the Id Brevity

Conscious and Unconscious are areas within our mind.

Conscious

This is the interface between the outside world and our mind.

Everything that you perceive to be happening at this current point in time comes from the conscious area of your mind.

Examples of things that occur within the self conscious are:

  • Sensations (such as pleasure, pain, comfort, discomfort, etc)
  • Feelings (such as love, sadness, etc)
  • Thoughts

Unconsious

Any idea that develops outside of the conscious awareness comes from the unconscious area of the mind.

The unconscious is split into two further parts:

  • The Preconscious or Latent unconscious: A space for ideas that have the capability to become conscious.
  • Repressed Unconscious: A space for ideas that are completely blocked from becoming conscious.
