"3. Level of mental life
Levels of mental life are divided into three levels – the unconscious, the conscious and the preconscious al of which are considered to be the greatest gain from Freud. On the basic of these levels of mental life he explains some kinds of behaviour. These his experiences helped find some kind of therapy for people with neuroses.
The unconscious
The unconscious contains drives, urges and instincts that are beyond awareness, but that nevertheless motivate most of our words, feelings and actions. (Feist, 1998, p. 22) The question is how can we be sure about existence of the unconscious? Freud directly proved existence of unconscious . He observed behaviour and meaning of dreams and their importance. He found out meaning of dreams can comprehend neurotic symptoms and certain kind of forgetting, called repressions. This could be regard as proof for his statement.
Some psychic process can cross from unconscious to conscious. But crossing to conscious is very difficult, because people have got between these levels of mental life some censorship. It can by called as guardian. This psychic “point” check for process and their passage to conscious.
Connection with unconscious we can find in Freud´s concept about Oedipus complex and castration anxiety.
The preconscious
The preconscious contents elements, which aren´t conscious but can turn into reality. There are two sources – the first one is conscious perceptions and the second one is the unconscious.
The conscious
This level of mental life isn´t very important in Freud´s theory of personality. Freud explains his theory of levels of mental life as a hall with three rooms – the conscious, the preconscious and the unconscious. All rooms have got heir special own names. The first room called Anteroom is the biggest. Anteroom means and consists unconscious process. The unconscious and the preconscious called reception room are separated by doorkeeper.(the first censorship). The last part of hall is King. King represents the conscious. Between King and reception room is screen as final censorship."
