Die Traumdeutung

The Interpretation of Dreams is one of the most influential writings of the 20th century. Freud explains that dreams are not mere random playthings of the sleeping mind, but rather unfulfilled wishes. In dreams, these wishes surface in a censored form, with their contents being displaced and condensed. Through numerous examples, Freud demonstrates his technique of dream interpretation, highlighting the immense role that the unconscious plays in our lives. The selected edition presents the most important parts of this monumental work and provides detailed commentary on them. An afterword and a helpful small vocabulary of psychoanalysis complete the volume.
