Synopsis

Freud examines the similarities and differences between the two mental states, and argues that delusions can be understood as a kind of waking dream. He also discusses the role of wish fulfillment in both dreams and delusions, and suggests that they both provide insight into the unconscious mind. Additionally, Freud analyzes specific cases of delusions, including religious delusions and paranoid delusions, and discusses their psychological significance. Overall, "Delusion and Dream" provides a thought-provoking examination of the workings of the human mind and the relationship between conscious and unconscious mental states. Read in English, unabridged.

About Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud (1856–1939) was an Austrian psychiatrist and the founder of psychoanalysis. Considered the most influential psychological theorist of the twentieth century, Freud's theories have had an enormous influence on art, literature, and social thinking. Freud's fundamental idea was that all humans are endowed with an unconscious in which potent sexual and aggressive drives, and defenses against them, struggle for supremacy. His first major work was The Interpretation of Dreams, which established the importance of the psychoanalytical movement. His other writings include Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality, Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego, The Future of an Illusion, The Ego and the Id, and Beyond the Pleasure Principle.

A thorough analysis of the work "Gradiva". In this essay Freud enlightens and manifests to us various details of the novella that would otherwise be unnoticed.
