Story Text:

Sigmund Freud is a well-known Austrian neurologist, psychoanalyst, and physiologist renowned for his indulgence in lab and clinical sciences. He is also one of the pioneers and influential theorists of the twentieth century who proposed the psychoanalytical theory of human personality. 

Sigmund Freud is also believed to be the early founder in pursuit of human behavior's reasoning. His theories about human thoughts, dreams, childhood memories, consciousness, unconsciousness, and the human drive for sexuality proved a milestone in studying human behavior. 

His psychoanalytical theory describes the three constituents of human personality, i.e., id, ego, and superego. Id is the source of primitive drives and wild demands lying in a person's unconscious mind. On the contrary, the superego is the sense of morality and standards set by family, friends, and society. While the ego is the mediator or agent of the human psyche to remind a person to beware of his id's inappropriate and unacceptable demands.

Freud not only presented the theory of psychoanalysis but also suggested psychotherapies to cope with the anxiety caused by continuous suppression of unfulfilled desires, such as cognitive behavioral therapy. 

Being an atheist, he believed that religion could not give contentment. He said children's relationship with their fathers or father figures determines their religious views.

Some of his works are "The Interpretation of Dreams," "Civilization and it's Discontents", "The Unconsciousness ", etc., which influenced many of his contemporaries and descending theorists and behaviorists. He determined the significant notions that are the components of the human brain and behavior.

He also articulated his beliefs about society and culture. Though his beliefs were not validated by his contemporaries and were very controversial, later research proved their significance and efficiency.

Who were they? He couldn’t see them. Perhaps, they were kinda faceless. Were they Noppera-bō, skinwalkers, or darkmasters? With so much complexity in his head, his 150+ IQ mind was unable to make a clear call. He was constantly getting his body wrapped – getting transformed into a mummy. But how was he able to see himself even when his face had already been mummied? “Is it the third person omniscient view that is displayed before his eyes?” And all of a sudden, a lightening thought struck him, and his mind alarmed that it’s not his death bed – however, a lucid nightmare it is which is constantly giving him chills as all of his senses are working in that situation too. Perhaps, the time was too slow. He felt every single zeptosecond passing harshly and hardly, and saw...

Luciren Thoornis - Multiverse is Real

Once he felt that he was still unable to breathe properly , he thought of that lucid nightmare as one of the most tragic events of his life. Perhaps, it is just that he was on the verge of something? Or Something beyond his expectation is gonna happen real soon. But how soon? His mind was constantly alarming that something more than the dangerous is going to happen real soon, something that is going to create more havoc that he just felt a moment before. Just at that moment, he saw his old friend, Medusis Aurithnea entering the room. He became quite surprised. Because he thought that she might have left with all the other friends after tonight’s party at his home. But it seemed like she stayed at is home tonight. He knew that Medusis Aurithnea is one of the biggest sleepyheads he had ever faced in his whole life span. She was really sleepy even during the talks.
