The Interpretation of Dreams

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.
