Description
Sigmund Freud published The Interpretation of Dreams in 1900, and A. A. Brill's translation carried it to English readers. Freud argues that dreams are disguised fulfillments of wishes. Decoding them, he claims, opens the royal road to the unconscious mind, where forbidden desires continue to work unseen.
Freud analyzes his own dreams alongside his patients', using free association and the study of symbols, puns, and everyday slips. He separates the dream as remembered from the hidden thoughts beneath it. Whatever readers conclude about his theory, the book launched psychoanalysis and changed how the modern West talks about minds, childhood, and desire.
