About this item:

Translated by A.A. Brill With an Introduction by Stephen Wilson.

Sigmund Freud's audacious masterpiece, The Interpretation of Dreams, has never ceased to stimulate controversy since its publication in 1900.

Freud is acknowledged as the founder of psychoanalysis, the key to unlocking the human mind, a task which has become essential to man's survival in the twentieth century, as science and technology have rushed ahead of our ability to cope with their consequences.

Freud saw that man is at war with himself and often unable to tolerate too much reality. He propounded the theory that dreams are the contraband representations of the beast within man, smuggled into awareness during sleep. In Freudian interpretation, the analysis of dreams is the key to unlocking the secrets of the unconscious mind.

From the Back Cover

Freud's discovery that the dream is the means by which the unconscious can be explored is undoubtedly the most revolutionary step forward in the entire history of psychology. Dreams, according to his theory, represent the hidden fulfillment of our unconscious wishes.

4.0 out of 5 stars A challenging read, for more reasons than one

T. · 1 August 2016

For anyone interested in how dream psychology came to be, this seems like the perfect place to start your research. And there is, in fact, no denying how much Freud has defined and shaped our understanding of the unconscious, why we dream, or the sexual / psychosexual driving forces behind our behaviours and motivations. However, as we now know today, Freud's theories stand the test of time only to some extent. His over-fixation on sexual impulses was, for example, one of the reasons which led to his infamous feud with Jung, and the truth is that part of his live-long work feels driven more by an obsession than an actual objective, pragmatic research quest. This, along with the way this book is written (a slight part might have to do with the translation, as I remember reading an older version and not being left with the same feeling) has the potential to shy away readers whose sole purpose is a curious look into such fascinating artifacts of the human psyche.Nevertheless, this is a must read if you intend do broaden and develop your own insights regarding the dreamworld. It is, of course, filled with not-so-scientific, sometimes even highly subjective personal interpretations, but this is obviously a very revealing peak into one of the most fascinating minds in the field of Psychology, even though Freud himself was a neurologist.

5.0 out of 5 stars The foundation of psychoanalysis

If you want to understand the human mind deeply, you must read this one. A classic of the creator of the psychoanalysis.

5.0 out of 5 stars Insightful and Fascinating Read!

P.G. · 24 September 2021

If youre into dreams, symbolism, consciousness, subconscious mind, the darkness lurking in the back of the psyche which we all try to avoid and censor, this will be right up your alley. This book will help lay foundations to your understanding of the dreams you have to a point where you can attempt to break down your dream content and the meaning behind it. Freud goes off tangent for a bit about wanting to shag his mother and kill his father but apart from that, id recommend it highly.

This book is very interesting. Good for any dreamer. Don’t want to spoil the rest because everyone deserves to get to know themselves through their dreams and to bring them into their own reality.

content

S. · 23 April 2012

He has some clear pages but most of the time he is just too confident for no real reason :) too many layers of abstracting and most links lost or not convincing.

安価で、原書が読める
