Synopsis

First published in 1900, The Interpretation of Dreams was regarded by Freud as his greatest work, yet he recognised it could be demanding for readers. On Dreams was created as a shorter, more accessible presentation of his ideas, and has since been used by generations of readers and students as a coherent account of his theory of dreams as distorted wish fulfilment.

Freud sets scientific perspectives alongside popular views, then explores how dreams may be shaped by the thoughts and activities of the preceding day. He also examines mechanisms including condensation, dramatization, displacement and regard for intelligibility, and offers insights into repression, three classes of dreams and censorship within the dream. This edition will suit students, psychologists and readers interested in dreams and the unconscious mind.
