The Interpretation of Dreams (Translated by A. A. Brill)

Sigmund Freud's seminal work introduces his groundbreaking theory of the unconscious, positing that dreams serve as wish fulfillment and a means of resolving inner conflicts. He explores how the unconscious mind's troubling thoughts are censored by the preconscious, with dreams acting as a bridge to conscious awareness that requires psychoanalytic interpretation. The book reviews prior scientific literature, categorizes various dream types, and includes examples from literature and personal experiences, establishing its significance in dream analysis. This edition features a translation from the 1913 Brill version.
