Sigmund Freud 
THE INTERPRETATION OF DREAMS – Freud 

In ‘The Interpretation of Dreams’, Freud demonstrates that every dream carries 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 gaining a better understanding of what we truly are. Filled with examples extracted from records of his patients and his own dreams, ‘The Interpretation of Dreams’ is a unique work that, even as it delves into the study of dreams, is intelligible to all. Scholars or laypeople with an interest in exploring the fantastic and revealing world of dreams will be enchanted by this book, considered the magnum opus of the ‘Father of Psychoanalysis.’
