The unconscious is not chaotic and disorganised - quite the contrary. There are knowable and unknowable areas, space, place and compartments within permeable boundaries. It is built from our experiences and their repression and dissociation, both of which are relative not absolute processes. We use the signifier Lagoon to designate nameable (knowable?) areas of the unconscious. In the unconscious sea of love, hate and fear we find the Lagoons of needs, wants demands and desires. Dreams can be thought of as a particular kind of Lagoon. The geographical metaphor refers to an area where a river reaches the sea. It is rich in nutriments, is knowable and be-in-able!

The paradoxical unconscious is knowable and not. Lagoon thinks the patterns that emerge from the non-linear dynamic systems of unconscious. Lagoon is a pattern that has self-organised. Lagoon is an infinite set, retaining its infinite links in the unconscious, yet bounded and therefore knowable. Lagoon is where we can rest: where the simultaneous experience of timelessness and linearity can be. Lagoon is rich. Succoured from the depths. Lagoon is the real which allows us to symbolise. Lagoon is where our creative imagination can begin. Lagoon is where we meet each other and where we meet ourselves.
