wandering womb, or animal within an animal

greek physicians believed the uterus moved around the body like an animal, behaving erratically and advancing on things that smelled nice.  hippocrates called this the wandering womb, an animal within an animal.

for better or worse, we transcend reality so that we can cope with unmanageable emotional excesses.  our salvation is wilson from cast away or it's unmitigated paranoia, belief in god or faith in nothing.  either way, there is a mind within the mind, snow-blind and impulsive, leading us by the wrist.  freud's unconscious mind, issuing orders.
