The Interpretation of Dreams

Mehr zum Buch

Exploring the nature of dreams, Freud's work delves into the unconscious mind, positing that dreams serve as a form of wish fulfillment. He identifies two key processes at play: an unconscious desire and a counteracting force that denies this wish. The text examines various dreams, including those of his patients, while challenging conventional views by emphasizing the sexual undertones in dream interpretation. Freud's theories sparked significant debate and were refined through multiple revisions before its 1899 publication, aiming to unravel the deeper meanings behind our dreams.
