Creative writing and day dreaming: Sigmund Freud

In B.A i studied very interesting essay of Sigmund Freud. The Essay is 'Creative writing and Day Dreaming'. Creative  Writing and Dayd by Sigmund Freud.  The essay“Creative Writers and Daydreaming” suggests Freud's interest in the relationship between the author and his work. He sees a piece of creative writing as a continuation or substitute for the play of childhood. Freud also displays some aspects of his approach to the psychology of the reader.He suggests that the superficial pleasure of the work releases to deeper psychic pleasure and thereby liberate tensions. Thus, reading a text is known the psyche of the author.  Humanbeings have innumerable wishes and desires that can't be expressed freely due to social boundary, morality and other restrictions. The desires remain suppressed in our unconscious level of mind. Somehow, we try to express those desires and, according to Freud, there are three ways to do so- Sex, tongue slips and writing. Artists take help of writing to express his repressed desires of their childhood. He fantasizes and creates daydreams in place of playing games of their childhood. Through writing, the author expresses his desires. He remembers his golden past and wants to express the experience of the past in the present but can't do so. Therefore, he fantasizes and manifests his wishes in the form of art. During childhood, a child plays with the mother's body but later on he identifies himself with fatherly figure, who comes in between mother and child , and the bodily unity with the mother is broken but the desire to play with mother's body remains throughout his life. Children forget their imagination by indulging themselves in games. The writer has nostalgic towards the blissful past and the same romantic nostalgia becomes immense energy for creativity. So, there is some sort of similarity between children and writers. Both use their emotion and imagination seriously in game and writing.
