The Interpretation of Dreams

More about the book

Freud's exploration of dreams as wish fulfillment and conflict resolution highlights his groundbreaking theory of the unconscious. He posits that dreams serve as a bridge between the chaotic unconscious and the conscious mind, requiring interpretation through psychoanalysis. The book begins with a critique of prior scientific literature on dreams, followed by analyses of various dream types using examples from literature, his own experiences, and those of his patients. This influential work remains a cornerstone of dream analysis, presented in a quality edition based on Brill's 1913 translation.
