The most complete edition of Sigmund Freudโs classic work on the psychology and significance of dreams. What are the most common dreams and why do we have them? What does a dream about death mean? What do dreams of swimming, failing, or flying symbolize? First published in 1899, Sigmund Freud's groundbreaking book The Interpretation of Dreams explores why we dream and why dreams matter in our psychological lives. Delving into theories of manifest and latent dream content; the special language of dreams; dreams as wish fulfillments; the significance of childhood experiences; and much more, Freud offers an incisive and enduringly relevant examination of dream psychology. Encompassing dozens of case histories and detailed analyses of actual dreams, this landmark work grants us unique insight into our sleeping experiences. Renowned for translating Freud's German writings into English, James Stracheyโwith the assistance of Freud's daughter Annaโfirst published this edition in 1953. Incorporating all textual alterations made by Freud over a period of thirty years, it remains the most complete translation of the work in print. Review: What dreams may come - Very informative, good read significant work considering the time and information available during those times. Review: Complete version of this work of Freud - Certainly the best version of this work of Freud. Makes mention of the method of Breuer on page 125 where 'unravelling them (psycho-pathological structures) coincides with removing them', which points to a cure for problems rather than papering over the situation with drugs or behavior modification.

Complete version of this work of Freud
Certainly the best version of this work of Freud. Makes mention of the method of Breuer on page 125 where 'unravelling them (psycho-pathological structures) coincides with removing them', which points to a cure for problems rather than papering over the situation with drugs or behavior modification.

One of the Greatest Books
Itโs Freud at his best. For anyone interested in literature and art generally, this is a must read. It is Freud at some of his most clear, and accessible. It is a long book that demands attention and close reading but the reward is incredible. He really shows that dreams are not some sort of metaphysical transcendental realm, but they are our very mind replaying our life to ourselves, and Freud wants to see if there is a meaning to the symbols, which I think he shows. This edition is great, and I bought it specifically to write comments and what not in the margins, usually I do not write in my books, but I bought a second copy to do so.

Fascinating Dive Into the Mystery of Dreams
Something really interesting about the mystery of dreamsโthis book makes it fun to decode whatโs going on in your head while you sleep. Deep, a little dense at times, but definitely worth the read if you're curious about the meanings behind your dreams.

Straordinario
Lettura molto difficile, per poter capire il libro bene per me e' stato necessario leggerlo tre volte, lentamente, Ma una volta capito bene , ho potuto analizzare i miei sogni e confermare di persona la validita' delle teorie.
