In ‘The Interpretation of Dreams, ‘ Freud demonstrates that every dream carries with it a meaning related to the fulfillment of desires. These desires, sublimated in our waking life, are associated with primitive instincts and will manifest symbolically in our dreams. For Sigmund Freud, interpreting a dream means giving it a sense, that is, adjusting it to the chain of our mental faculties and better understanding what we truly are. Filled with examples drawn from records of his patients and his own dreams, ‘The Interpretation of Dreams’ is a unique work that, even delving into the study of dreams, is intelligible to all. Scholars or laypeople interested in exploring the fantastic and revealing world of dreams will be enchanted by this book, considered the greatest work of the ‘Father of Psychoanalysis.’
