Using psychoanalytic methods, a story is crafted from the author's dream images, seeking parallels in culturally transmitted imagery from art history. The central question is: What lies in the unconscious within these images? What opportunities and risks does this interdisciplinary approach present for the humanities? Michael Barben undertakes a personal experiment and embarks on a journey deep into the personal and collective unconscious. This book explores repressed aspects of consciousness - murder, despair, longing, oppression, violence and trauma - and offers approaches to liberating people from their personal and cultural entanglements.
