The Interpretation of Dreams

The Interpretation of Dreams is a seminal work by Sigmund Freud, published in 1899, that introduces his theory of the unconscious with respect to dream interpretation. Freud explores the significance of dreams and their connection to our desires and fears.

In this groundbreaking book, Freud presents his theory that dreams are a form of wish fulfillment and a window into the unconscious mind. He analyzes various dreams and discusses the mechanisms of dream formation, including symbolism and the role of repression.

Freud delves into the nature of dreams, proposing that they are not merely random images but rather meaningful reflections of our inner thoughts and desires. He provides case studies and examples to illustrate his theories, ultimately arguing that understanding dreams can lead to greater self-awareness.
