The Interpretation of Dreams is the book that Sigmund Freud considered his most important and that forever changed the way we think about our dreams. Here, Freud explained his discoveries about why we dream, what we dream, and what our dreams mean.

In this groundbreaking work, Freud further demonstrated that it is in the treatment of abnormal mental states that dream analysis is the most valuable. He claimed that dreams not only reveal to us the cryptic mechanisms of phobias, obsessions, and delusions but also are the most potent weapon in the healing of them.

This book is indispensable to anyone interested in dreams and dream analysis.

I liked some parts but i found it hard to listen to and stay focused when Freud would quote in french, so it would hold focus if a deap interest was there in understanding this piece of work from Freud

It must be of interest

A bit hard to follow when Freud is quoting in French. It would have been better if those passages would have been translated.

The book is great. It's amazing that even a hundred years after its publication, readers cannot accept it.
The recording is okay, except for the actor cannot pronounce French and Italian citations properly. But I guess one cannot have everything at the same time. He's done an excellent job with this recording, anyway.

A must for any psicologist. Nowadays we now that many of Freud theories are not at all accurate. Still, this book manages to explain a great deal about dream theory. Prepare for some French and German also.

Intereating , a bit hard to finish

Would you listen to The Interpretation of Dreams again? Why?

It's great to go to the original writings of Freud, especially to the Interpretation of Dreams, which is one of the founding texts of psychoanalysis as a whole and the book of which Freud was most proud. Freud even updated it a number of times as he progressed his theoretical framework in the following decades because he felt it was such an important text.

People who regard Freud's theory of dreams as quackery often forget that he was a neurologist before he developed psychoanalysis. It's a very demanding listen but Freud was a clear and compelling writer. The Interpretation of Dreams makes you realise the profundity and sophistication of Freud's thought as a whole.

A difficult but brilliant book
