The Interpretation of Dreams is a 1913 book by German psychologist Sigmund Freud. In this groundbreaking treatise on the importance of dreams, Freud argued that our dreams have distinct meanings that are related to our conscious and unconscious selves. The theory postulated that wish fulfillment is at the heart of dream content. It was translated by Abraham A. Brill, who was the first practitioner of psychoanalysis in the United States. Freud first published the work in 1899 in the German language.

  • Sigmund Freud was an Austrian-born neurologist and psychiatrist and the father of modern psychoanalysis. Freud's theory of dream analysis essentially held that the root of all dreams was wish fulfillment. In order to discover the meaning in one's dreams, it was necessary for the psychoanalyst to guide the patient through free association, gradually eliciting a storyline, which could then be professionally analyzed. This volume introduces Freud's theories on the unconscious mind and first discusses what he would later call the Oedipus complex.
