Thin Boundaries

Psychoanalyst Dr. Ernest Hartmann developed the concept of "Boundaries of the Mind"; a personality trait that is dependent on the separateness or connection between mental function and processes. People with "Thin Boundaries" tend to confuse fantasy and reality, especially between sleep and wakefulness. The Dream Study using this concept found that people with thin boundaries can easily recall their dreams, have frequent nightmares that are longer, more intense, and contain stranger subject matter than a standard nightmare. As a frequent nightmare sufferer and someone who has a hard time differentiating real memories from dream memories myself, I created this accordian style book that shows the confusion between nightmares and real life, however bizarre they may be.
