In Chapter One, Jung refers to the warehouse of memories. He implies, but at this stage of the book does not say, that the mind claims and keeps all experiences. However, some of these are lost, possibly irretrievably from conscious mind. This means everyone has an ever-growing amount of information within themselves, much of which hides from or is hidden from even self-awareness. In that sense, it causes the human memory to include metaphorically everything under the bed that the owner hasn't seen or thought of since the previous adventure of cleaning out from under it or going under there for some other reason. If there is no platform holding up the bed well, then the stuff underneath it is only all the more secret. Jung does not explicitly claim in this book that people retain a clear memory of every event, but does tell readers that he feels that whatever the unconscious really is, he feels that is the source of most conscious activity and behavior.
