Part III chapter IV

Thought-crime could come about in sleep-talking or by any other involuntary expression. The Thought Police of 1984 are agents whose task is inner snooping. The telescreen is sensitive enough to pick up heart beats. Once Winston is imprisoned, his dreams, which Freud stated, "is the royal road to a knowledge of the unconscious activities of the mind", are also open to inspection. Unlike an analytic patient, Winston is not cooperating voluntarily. But Orwell described Winston’s earlier diary-keeping as a “therapy” which has not worked. According to the logic of 1984, Winston must now undergo a more drastic treatment.​
