ids

Primitive mind parts

Ids is the plural of id, the part of the psyche in Freudian psychology that contains primitive drives and operates on the pleasure principle, seeking immediate gratification without regard for consequences.

The id is contrasted with the ego and superego.

Outside psychology, an id is an identification document: The bouncer checked our ids at the door.
