Psychoanalyst [[Sigmund Freud]] made the concept of the unconscious popular; and he based most of his theories on [[psychoanalysis]] on the concept. According to Freud, the [[subconscious mind]] rests right below the conscious mind, and has easy access to the thoughts and feelings that are kept in this state – as opposed to the unconscious mind (access to which is, in Freud's view, impossible). Freud believed that we projected our unconscious emotions onto others.<ref name="Projective Identification" />
