Hey Antonis, great introduction and interview. Freud & surrealism continues to influence my life in so many ways. In regards of 'automatic writing', which I employ from time to time, it helps to get me unstuck from fixations (mild forms of obsession) and it also enhances my overall penmanship and other things as well. An old friend of mine used to practice automatic writing a lot at coffee shops. None of it made any sense to read but he swore it was therapeutic for his anxiety. Here's a versatile question for the Professor should you follow up with him in the future: Ask him to share his thoughts on the significance of our final dream as we die; i.e., as our brains are shutting down. My theory is that our closing dream marks the highlight of our lives. Our capacity to let go, or let be, influences the sort of death we have. In other words, the way we live our lives sets the quality of our ending, whether we have a good death or not; if we live with fear we die in fear; if we live with courage we die courageously in our fading dream. Whatever psychic force we put out into the universe determines our contribution to the all, and may in truth lead us back into embodied existence in a way that escapes our rational explanation of it. For me it is only through dreams that I am able to glimpse into parallel timelines of what my life would have been like if the 'conditions arising' were altered. Moreover my dreams are aspects of one single dream that overlap in an un-linear fashion. My dream during sleep tonight may actually pick up from a dream experienced as a five year old or vice versa. For me this sheds light on our parallel timelines in the so-called real life and yet these elements also intertwine into synchronicity, so my dream and waking life are also linked in ways that defy logic but are nevertheless substantial. Oh shit, I am probably saying too much for you to cohere. Forget everything above and ask Dr. Solms what he believes our final dream will be like. Thanks a bunch and keep up the good work.

Wow., I've always thought Freud was way too technically complex. The fault was the translator's. Interesting
