The Interpretation of Dreams by Sigmund Freud

“The virtuous man contents himself with dreaming that which the wicked man does in actual life. ”Regarded as Sigmund Freud’s most significant work, The Interpretation of Dreams was published in 1899 and aims to give readers a peek through the workings of the unconscious mind through dream interpretations. In this book, Frued paves a new way of understanding human nature and thought processes. The book fascinates the readers with symbolisms that establish how everyday experiences get manifested into dreams. Describing them as picturepuzzles, Freud asserts that dreams can form a “poetical phrase of the greatest beauty and significance”.
