Synopsis

Sigmund Freud’s “The Interpretation of Dreams” has been described as one of the most important books of the 20th century. As a result of the perception, however, that it is a lengthy and complex work, Freud embarked on the task of compiling a more brief and simplified version of his ideas on the interpretation of dreams. The results of this labour are presented in "On Dreams".
From the time of its appearance, a large and loyal audience of scholars, experts and curious readers have relied on this work for a trusted and systematic exposition of Freud's theory of dreams.
Freud first introduces his theory of the unconscious in terms of dream interpretation, and then portrays dreams as wish-fulfilment – creations of of the subconscious that serve to digest events or feelings, past or recent, that are buried and unresolved.
Professionals, students and laymen alike will enjoy this simple and authoritative version of an always-relevant theory of dream interpretation by one of the key early progenitors of modern psychoanalysis.

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.

This was so brilliant! Oh, God! Oh, God! I MUST read "The Interpretation of Dreams"! I know I must make a summary, otherwise I won't remember half of what I've read (not conscious, anyway). Basically, all dreams are wishes. And if the dream is much too weird and seems like maybe the opposite of some......more
