Description
Have you ever wondered why you often dream of falling from a great height? Have you ever dreamt of swimming, flying, or drowning? Sigmund Freud’s The Interpretation of Dreams introduces the theory of the unconscious in relation to interpreting dreams. In the book, Freud states that dreams are a result of two processes: an unconscious force that makes a wish, which is shown through the dream, and a process that denies the wish being fulfilled. He says that all dreams are essentially “wish fulfillment”. Many have argued against this theory as it requires a sexual interpretation of one’s dreams, whereas Freud always labeled it as the “royal road to the unconscious”. A majority of the dreams discussed in the book are not just Freud’s own dreams, but also those of his patients. The Interpretation of Dreams attempts to answer the question why we dream and what it means in the larger context of our lives. The book was revised eight times before being published in 1899.
Author's Description
Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
Sigmund Freud was an Austrian neurologist born into a Jewish family in 1856, in Moravia, in the time of the Austrian Empire, known as the Czech Republic in the present day. Popularly known as the “father of psychoanalysis”, Freud was the founder of psychoanalysis – a clinical method for treating mental disorders in a patient through a dialogue between them and the psychoanalyst. Freud introduced the concept of the unconscious through this theory with regard to dream interpretation. Later, this developed into his theory of Oedipus Complex. This field of study was carried forward by Freud's students, Alfred Adler, Carl Jung, and Erich Fromm.
Freud studied medicine at the University of Vienna and also researched in the field of neurophysiology. In addition, his theorization of the human psyche, which comprises the three elements of id, ego, and superego, was revolutionary in the field of psychoanalysis. Freud authored many books from 1891 to 1967. He is also known for writing three ground-breaking essays on the subject
of sexuality.
