The Unconscious

Abstract

A twenty-eight-year-old management information and computer specialist had the following dream:

I was a young person, maybe sixteen, seventeen, or eighteen years old. The dream had to do with work, industry, and technology. I was in an office or a laboratory. I was working at the XYZ computer company in their township laboratory. The people I saw there were working for the computer company, but the place didn’t look like the company or the township laboratory.

There was an assembly line and a row of desks and benches. The room had a low ceiling and I could see the slant of the roof. Above the benches there were large wooden boxes with electronic equipment. I could see the titles, but I was curious, and I wanted to know exactly how to use the equipment. I wanted to impress the people that I could use this equipment. I was a newcomer to the plant and lab. I wanted to convince them that even though I was young and inexperienced, I could do it.
