Carl Jung had a theory that our psyche is composed of the ego, persona, and shadow. Our ego is the 'main character' that we've developed as the story of our life unfolds. It's the consistent element that allows our life narrative to continue uninterrupted. The persona is the mask you put on for people. We might have different masks for different situations, and they have varying degrees of intensity, such as the high-pitched customer service voice developed by anyone that's had to work at a call center or in retail.

And finally, the shadow: all the secret things that you try so hard to suppress. The shadow lies in the subconscious mind, and it can be accessed through dreams. Surrealist painters like Salvador Dali employed meditation techniques that allowed them to stay alert during dreams so that they could better remember the visuals that emerged from their subconscious minds. In today's story, a man's own shadow betrayed his secret infidelity when he started murmuring another woman's name out loud in his sleep. Read below to find out what happened after his girlfriend confronted him.
