Essay Thoughts

Artists are viewed as "neurotic" because of their over-the-top dream world. Artists view their dream world as a language. Dreams are an uncontrollable state of mind. Thus, the artists are not "neurotic", but rather, creatives souls who are able to unconsiously create worlds. When a human thinks, the first thought is considered to be an "automatic" thought - an uncontrollable thought. After the "automatic" takes place, a "controlled" thought progesses. A "controlled" thought is a thought that thinks over and revises the original or "automatic" thought. I want to discuss, in my essay, how artists are viewed as "neurotic" in a condescending way. Personally, I see the artists as neurotically genius.
