Resumen del Editor

The Interpretation of Dreams by Sigmund Freud is one of the most significant books of the 20th century. Though dreams and their role in human consciousness have been a continuing thread in religion and art and life down the centuries, Freud's look at the subject through the prism of his emerging practice and study of psychoanalysis provided a startlingly new and challenging perspective. First published in German in 1899, it sold slowly; but over the following decade he revised and expanded it in response to his experiences working with patients, reviewing his own dreams, and discussions and debates with colleagues. It was translated into numerous languages.

In this extensive work he considers the meaning of dreams experienced by individuals generation after generation: dreams of flying, of death, of anger, of sex, of fear, of power. What do they signify, in general terms and in relation to individuals and their own personal situations? In this seminal book, Freud relates and discusses case histories and the effects of analysis. The remembered dreams have navigated the various passages of unconscious and preconscious filters to emerge into daylight, undergoing internal censorship and wish fulfilment and change and many other factors. So what are these dreams really saying or revealing? What anxiety or hope are they signaling? Sexuality plays a key role - this book contains the first emergence of Freud's Oedipus complex, among other sexual issues.

The Interpretation of Dreams is not an easy book - Freud himself produced an abridged version. But its influence on the 20th century, and particularly on Western awareness and society, cannot be underestimated. This classic translation of The Interpretation of Dreams by A. A. Brill dates from 1932 and contains all the major revisions made by Freud, and his footnotes. It has an important place in the audio recordings of Freud's major work, read clearly by Derek Le Page for Ukemi Audiobooks.

What he really wrote.

Glad I did it. Glad it’s done. Freud of course is one of those foundational writers, important to psychology, philosophy, literature, and art, that everyone thinks they know but no one actually reads. There is some fascinating stuff here, and the narrator at least makes it (relatively) painless.

Great listen so much information. Wow!

The narration was perfect, beautiful voice, perfect pronunciation! Absolutely, hands-down love this park one of my favorites! Thank you, audible

Excellent reading

Derek Le Page delivers a flawless, intelligent reading of Freud's masterpiece. Thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding.

Dry but solid

if you are the kind of intellectual that appreciates or can tolerate Noam Chomsky lectures or writing then this book is for you.
Freud puts a lot of effort into dismantling his own theory on The Interpretation of Dreams and that makes this book very enjoyable if you are someone who is currently a STEM major. The habit of scientific rigor has been lost from the psychological and political discussions nowadays and it is great to hear from a brilliant mind that was good enough to enter into new territory and also welcome all criticism.

Many political idealogue's would learn a lot about themselves and the topics of their interest of they were to handle their research the way Freud does.

yeah anyways if you can handle dry and informative this book will blow your mind. the narrator sounds great at 2x
