    You introduced me to some new insights and new names in connection with the psychoanalytic approach to dreams, psychosis, and the uncanny. Thanks! The whole concept of a “psychotic core” to human consciousness is really intriguing and full of horror potential. To paraphrase the Ash Wednesday blessing, “Remember that thou art psychotic and unto psychosis thous shalt return.”

      arthurstaaz, thank you for your comment. Eigen’s Psychotic Core is a fascinating book, if a bit technical/clinical in places. It contains several harrowing and compelling case studies of deeply psychotic individuals. It’s a compelling read for anyone interested in the dark, disturbing depths of the human mind.
