This simple word had no relative meaning to art or Freud, but this was the way they felt their work could be expressed. In this movement of Dadaism, Freud played a significant role in how their art was formed. They used the unconscious world to express their paintings or writings. As Freud felt dreams were unconscious desire's not expressed in the real world; Dada artist used this in their work. They also felt that," everything obscure in the mind, buried deep, unrevealed", (Fiero 41) as one French playwright revealed. Each artist of the Dada era had a new way of expressing Freud's ideas. They also felt that art was a powerful means of self-revelation, and that the images came from ones subconscious mind had a truth of its own.

In these poetry readings the artist perceived how they felt about the world. As World War I began the Dadaist perceived it as a world gone mad. Not only did they express their work in unconventional ways; they used the subconscious as a way of making their views true. Although the Dada era was short lived it influenced and questioned the traditional concepts of the western world. These techniques set an agenda for a new trial by error art form of this same era. The spirit of Freud in the Dadaist era never really died, it is shown today as "Pop art" or sometimes known as neo-Dada art forms. Also this revolution of thinking and art paved the way for the Surrealist movement. The Surrealist movement of the 1920's through 1930's captivated the world with its bizarre way of thinking.
