Publisher Description

Between 1915 and 1917, Sigmund Freud delivered a series of well-received lectures at the University of Vienna on his theories of psychoanalysis. Nine of them focused on Freud's theories about dreams—what they are and what they mean. The content of these lectures are presented in Dreams. Freud covered a lot of ground in his lectures, focusing first on the general difficulties involved in studying dreams, then on the many aspects of dream interpretation, specific symbols and examples of dreams, and the dream as a wish-fulfillment. Finally, he addresses the doubts and criticisms commonly expressed about his theories.

"Some of his ideas seem to miss the mark. But he deserves tremendous credit for paving the way for psychological analysis of the unconscious during sleep. He believed mainly in wish-fulfillment as the sole and only purpose of dreams, however I personally believe it to be only a fraction of the true meaning of dreams. Great read for anyone interested in Psych."

    " While I don't believe in his theories generally, I picked a copy for $6 at Indigo; I do believe *some* people are influencing their dreams in this manner and read it from a purely academic/philosophical perspective. "

    " While reading this for a class, and not enjoying it, I had a dream in which the professor told us, "No, no! I didn't assign the whole BOOK! You only have to read the first ten pages!" Yes. I had a wish fulfillment dream about the book about wish fulfillment dreams. "

    " Terrible. I am not a fan of Freud. His egotistic nature comes right through in his writing and I cannot help but think he is something of a pervert. Will not be reading anymore of his work. "

    " Inaugurated the theory of Freudian dream analysis, which activity Freud famously described as "the royal road to the understanding of unconscious mental processes". "

    " This book is intersting considering it is one of the first of its kind. I know people disscussed dream interpretation but Freud's publication was groundbreaking. I have not finished it because it is not nearly as interesting as any of his other works. "

    " Unlike 99% of people who say they know this book, I have read it cover to cover. For those who say how preposterous Freud is they should actually sit down with his writings. What he says is far more lucid than the watered down garbage you've been told is Freud. "

    " I have to admit that reading this at times puts me to sleep... But it is interesting to come back to Freud from a post-Freudian perspective, and see how bold he was. We are doing a unit on the psychology of dreams with my 10th graders. "

About Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud (1856–1939) was an Austrian psychiatrist who founded the psychoanalytic school of psychology. Freud is best known for his theories of the unconscious mind and the defense mechanism of repression and for creating the clinical practice of psychoanalysis for curing psychopathology through dialogue between a patient and a psychoanalyst.

About Jonathan Reese

Jonathan Reese was trained from an early age in music and theater. Of his many credits he was proudest of being a founding member of Berkeley’s Straw Hat review. Formidably intelligent, deeply sympathetic, and highly sensitive to his material, he was perfectly suited for literary narration.
