You are not the one who dreams your dreams

"Who is dreaming your dream? It is not you, but it is also not someone else. It is not like your heart beating. The... point in Freud is that the one who is dreaming my dream is the one who is living my life. [It is not a man within the man, but rather another form of] strange agency... This is an inversion of the [expected relation of conscious and unconscious.] It is not that the conscious has an unconscious, but rather that the unconscious has a conscious..." --Irad Kimhi, October 8, 2008
