Over the last century the evolution of psychoanalytical theory has sparked a lot of interest in the creative arts.  Dr. Sigmund Freud was practicing Austrian neurologist in the late 19th century.  As the century turned, Freud provided a radically new approach to the analysis and treatment of adult behaviour.  The human unconscious was an idea that left nothing up to chance.  All human behaviour was a result of some inner motive.  Our interaction with the physical world was only one aspect of human existence.  According to psychoanalytical thought, there are layers of realities in which humans exist. Freud’s understanding of the mind was based on interpreting methods, tapping into his subjects psyche through dream analysis and hypnosis and clinical observations.   His methods attempted to resolve the conflicts between the subconscious and the conscious aspects of his subject.  According to Freud, the human psyche was composed of two parts, the conscious mind, (This is the aspect of our mental processing that we can think and talk about rationally) and the unconscious mind (a reservoir of feelings, thoughts, urges, and memories that outside of our conscious awareness. Most of the contents of the unconscious are unacceptable or unpleasant, such as feelings of pain, anxiety, or conflict. According to Freud, the unconscious continues to influence our behavior and experience, even though we are unaware of these underlying influences). And although there are interpretations regarding its composition, the fact is the human psyche consists of two realities.  Many artists and a variety of media have attempted to create or evoke a part of the subconscious world.  Modern film has developed over the years as a means of expression for an artist.  When an audience watches a movie, they are in a static setting, and a transported into another reality through the means of cinematography.
