"The subterranean level of the human mind, characterized by irrational urges (called by Freud the id) often denied or repressed by the conscious mind (the ego and superego). Freud's disciple C.G. Jung posited the existence of the "collective unconscious" shared by the human race in the aggregate, the primary source of archetypal symbols such as those found in the myths of the world. According to Joseph Campbell the hero's quest ultimately confronts him with images of the repressed unconscious, with which he must achieve atonement."
