Description

An Apple Books Classic edition.

Written by the founding father of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud’s 1899 book is the definitive text on learning to interpret dreams. Freud’s groundbreaking approach to healing psychiatric issues through dialogue between a patient and therapist gave us enduring concepts like projection and transference, as well as the superego, ego, and id.

Above all, Freud advanced the progressive idea of unconscious desire as a driving force for our thoughts and actions. This paved the way for the revolutionary notion that dreams are more than wild nonsense-they’re a channel for symbolically communicating our innermost fears, conflicts, and desires. While many of Freud’s theories have fallen out of fashion, Dream Psychology is a great introduction to the influential field of psychoanalysis. It’s a fascinating look into the world of the subconscious-and the human mind.

    Considering That when I was taking psychology classes my first year of college, I admit that his clinical methods when attempting to heal his patients where not only limited but unorthodox for today’s methods. Nevertheless we all have to agree that no one was making an effort for patients with major mental illnesses. So perhaps if it wasn’t for Dr. Freud we might be in the dark ages today. When it comes to laying down the basic fundamentals that are still used in clinical psychology to this day. I say he definitely was a pioneer. I am still curious about Apple Books version and how in depth the book is?

    This book reads like you did drugs and got hit by a truck. Can’t say I hate it but it’s not good.

    Freud’s psychobabble has been thoroughly discredited, especially now with all of the advancements achieved in the scientific study of the human brain and how it works. You should read this only for entertainment value, and it doesn’t possess very much of that.

    I picked out this book based on the fact that it was a classic and that I wanted to learn more about this subject matter. The book was a very dry, hard read. Every once in a while there would be something really interesting followed by page upon page of what felt like Freud’s stream of consciousness which was at times difficult to follow.

    As a beginner I could understand a little it would take many more reading to fully understand the concept and start interpreting our own dreams. The book is a very useful tool to understand the working of conscience and subconscious mind. Thanks to all who made it possible for me to read this masterpiece.

    Freud discusses dreams, among other things, such as the conscious, foreconscious, and even the unconscious. Meaning of dreams are discussed so that the reader can better understand his or hers fully. I found this book as an interesting read because it discusses dreams in depth. It’s quite confusing, but I have a general understanding of what this genious has to say on the subject. He even discusses his theory of unconscious thoughts, feelings, ideas, some repressed, that become conscious within our dreams! The only thing negative I have to say is his peculiar idea that everything relating to a dream, which is only discussed in one chapter, has some sexual significance to. You will understand once you read that chapter. Otherwise, it’s a fine book for a person interested in the mysteriousity of dreams.
