Unconscious Mutterings #4 ... I saw and you think...?

Free association is described as a "psychonanalytic procedure in which a person is encouraged to give free rein to his or her thoughts and feelings, verbalizing whatever comes into the mind without monitoring its content." Over time, this technique is supposed to help bring forth repressed thoughts and feelings that the person can then work through to gain a better sense of self. Each week ten words are posted at Unconscious Mutterings to which you can respond to with the first thing that comes to mind.

Does the coastguard give you the blues? Or do they dress in blue?

Julia, I have no idea! I have absolutely no idea why I said Blues to that word.. I kept thinking there was a song or something that triggered some random memory... obviously not...

Loved your responses to Amazing::Grace and Woman:: I am. I say you possess a good sense of self.

Xine - having now done this for a couple of weeks I notice that end up using words that should be reversed, often... like the I am Woman thing. That, and that I keep referencing movies and music...

As for sense of self... yeah, I guess, every day it seems I'm whittling away to discover who I am...
