Reader comments
Freud's theory is very enlightening and reminds me of some of my own dreams. It turns out that they may have so much hidden meaning. However, some contents in the book are quite profound and need to be digested slowly. Speaking of annoying characters, I feel like the simplistic interpretations of dreams are so superficial and completely miss the essence of dreams. Overall, this is a good book worth reading again and again.
