Automatic Writing

During automatic writing, a person’s hand produces written material although the person is not consciously aware of it happening. This is a type of “dissociation,” the process by which components of one’s identity or mental functioning become disconnected from each other. Another more extreme example of dissociation would be a multiple personality disorder, while a more mundane version would be driving somewhere and afterwards not remembering doing it because you were thinking the whole time.
