The Interpretation of Dreams

Sigmund Freud's The Interpretation of Dreams (1899) is a watershed moment in psychological thought, laying the entire foundation for psychoanalysis. Freud’s central thesis is that dreams are not random nonsense but rather the "royal road to the unconscious". He argues that the primary function of dreaming is wish fulfillment, meaning every dream represents a disguised attempt to satisfy a repressed, unconscious desire. The book introduces the critical distinction between: • Manifest Content: The story, images, and events of the dream that the person remembers. • Latent Content: The hidden, true, unacceptable unconscious wishes and thoughts that cause the dream. Freud details the process of "dream-work," the mechanisms (like condensation and displacement) by which the mind censors and transforms the latent content into the manifest content to allow the dreamer to remain asleep. While many of its specific theories have been updated or challenged, the book's core concepts—the existence of the unconscious, the importance of early life, and the idea that psychological conflicts manifest symbolically—have permanently altered how we understand the human mind and its depth. It is essential reading for anyone interested in psychology, literature, or cultural history.

Great Book by a veteran psychologist. I had a next level curiosity before purchasing this book but after taking a few reading, Its like "Kehna kya chahte ho " . Its language is not easy to grasp . But after reading twice a topic, Interesting.

Just phenomenal.

Nice book to read, of Sigmund Freud, which tells us how to interpret dreams.

The book was delivered in good condition. This is one of the best works ever produced in Psychology on dreams and human mind and that to by one of the greatest names in psychology - Sigmund Freud. This book is a must read for people fond of Psychology.

I'm happy

I like the product but the page quality could be better.

The Quality of pages is sooo good. I didn't expect anything like this. The cover page including the inner pages are of a good quality. No tore pages were there.

très bon livre à lire donne bien des idées à analyser nos reves je le conseille à tous vraiment intéressant

The product is as described. And that is what I wanted it to be like - and it is nicely written

Long delivery lead time. Item is as expected, but the book cover is softer/thinner than usual book. Haven't read yet. But book condition is ok

The book was a bit difficult to follow at times, but provides a very good analysis of different parts of dream formation, and explains why we forget it soon after. Might have to read again to fully grasp some concepts.

great condition , perfect book really love it
