  • Using Freudâ€TMs Pychoanalytic criticism, this paper will examine the relation between dreams and unconscious in Inception. One of Freudâ€TMs famous saying about dream is that they are the royal road of the unconscious. Based on this notion, several scenes at the movie will be analyzed to prove that unconscious thoughts, feelings, and memories are reallyprojected in a dream. In the movie, the notion of unconscious is never introduced; instead they use the notion of subconscious. However in this paper, distinction will be made between unconscious and subconscious, based on Freudâ€TMs theory of what unconscious is. After investigating the relation ofdream and unconscious, this study comes to a conclusion that dream is important because it sometimes affects our actions.
