Art throughout periods of time, Freud

Through further class discussions of Freud's views, I began to separate the previous ideas I had about Freud and began to really look behind his strange views, (well, strange in my opinion). The concept of time and phantasies began to take on a new light. The idea that phantasies are threaded through three periods of time started to make a lot more sense. He explains this threading throughout time as; one has an impression that is brought about by an event that creates an inner desire. This causes us to remember a period in our life (usually in infancy) in which this desire was fulfilled. This creates a situation in the future that represents when the dream may be fulfilled-this is seen as day dreams or phantasies. Although I am not one to agree with many of Freud's views, the threading through time seems to have good underlying qualities. For example the idea that the idea of a desire being present at all three periods in time seems very probable. This ideal could be applied to other example outside the realm of art, and in some cases if not all it would seem very likely. I may not be a fan of Freud's views, but I do believe he is brilliant within his own element.
