Week Thirteen: Final Abstract and Works Cited

My research has shown that deja vu
is a result of the manifestations of the unconscious
mind. This phenomenon can only be treated
using the conscious analysis of unconscious
motivation and thought.

    My paper is finally finished!!! :) Here are my final draft abstract and works cited for my essay titled "Synchronizing the Unconscious Mind and False Recollection Events": 

Abstract:

    Over two-thirds of the world’s population has experienced déjà vu. Such a widespread phenomenon lacks a subjective definition, and classical science only explains the biological basis of déjà vu without addressing its variability in patients. Subjective science is important for explaining the déjà vu phenomenon because it helps scientists interpret the unconscious roots of false recollection events: suppressed memories and dreams. Carl Jung’s theory of synchronicity is applicable to the explanation of the déjà vu phenomenon and can be used to pose future treatment for persistent déjà vu patients. The anxiety and distress caused by déjà vu events create a positive feedback loop in the unconscious mind, fueling further creation of false memories from unconscious material. By tracing the unconscious causes of déjà vu, it is possible to consciously address the repressed thoughts that project onto daily life through false recollection. This way, the conscious mind may serve as the solution to the problems posed by Carl Jung in his theory of synchronicity.
