50 Short stories of the unconscious mind
Writing | Short stories
Winter 2020
Our unconscious is the only place where no rules exist. Only once we become conscious of the un, we apply rules. Our dreams are out of our control, the question exists if a lucid dream is thus truly a dream if we are conscious during the un. The next question is: What is the unconscious telling us? 50 short stories to speak with the unconscious, the fears it has and what it warns us of.
This book is available on Amazon as both a paperback and kindle.
