Psychology Classics: Dream Interpretation

"The Interpretation of Dreams" is a psychological theoretical work by Austrian psychologist Sigmund Freud. In this psychological treatise, Freud first reviewed previous scientific work on the analysis of dreams, which he considered interesting but insufficient. He then recounted many dreams to illustrate his theory. Through the analysis of dreams, Freud proposed important concepts such as "subconscious" and "Oedipus complex", marking the formal establishment of the psychoanalytic system and profoundly affecting the way humans view themselves and the world. "The Interpretation of Dreams" has been regarded as an important part of psychoanalytic theory and one of the three theoretical pillars.
