Psychic censor

Another interesting similarity between Lovecraft’s work and that of actual practicing esotericists comes from the writing of Peter Carroll. Here and there, Carroll alludes to what he refers to as a ‘psychic censor’, a kind of abstract mechanism that has evolved in modern humans to forcefully blot out experiences and memory of mental phenomena commonly categorized as paranormal or pseudo-sciences, in order to render people more compatible to the mundane hive-mind schematic of modern society.
Apparently, this mechanism often becomes active during dreams, and, should you choose to believe Carroll, is the reason most people remember almost none of their dreams. The effects of the psychic censor are said to be violent at times, aggressively interrupting dreams or visions inspired by prescient or telepathic impulses in a most visceral manner.
Could the soul-searing fear that interrupts his acquisition of some critical discovery that recurred in his writing be an effect of the so-called psychic censor? All-but impossible to prove, but just as unlikely to disprove just the same. Matters of abstract nature elude fixed quantification.comment on johncoulthart
