The Interpretation of Dreams

De: Sigmund Freud

Narrado por: Michael Page

What are the most common dreams and why do we have them? What does a dream about death mean? What do dreams of swimming, failing, or flying symbolize? First published by Sigmund Freud in 1899, The Interpretation of Dreams considers why we dream and what it means in the larger picture of our psychological lives.

Delving into theories of manifest and latent dream content, the special language of dreams, dreams as wish fulfillments, the significance of childhood experiences, and much more, Freud, widely considered the "father of psychoanalysis", thoroughly and thoughtfully examines dream psychology. Encompassing dozens of case histories and detailed analyses of actual dreams, this landmark text presents Freud's legendary work as a tool for comprehending our sleeping experiences.

beautiful, blown away

Any additional comments?

you have to listen to it

A great book

This book was wonderful and a paramount staple for the western thought. I really liked this book.

way to long

this was unnecessary long I guess it was because it was written for an audience that need repeat explanations. the narration wad fair but the foreign language was really poorly spoken and was not at all needed for the understanding of the content.

WOW, this is A LOT of information to digest!

What did you love best about The Interpretation of Dreams?

I enjoyed learning more about Freud and his perspective, especially when it comes to dreams. I find myself much more drawn to and accepting of Carl Jung's views, but I specifically wanted to understand the differences between these two great thinkers!

What about Michael Page’s performance did you like?

Great job as narrator/reader!

Any additional comments?

This is NOT light entertainment, but I believe it is a necessary read for those interested in deep psychological/spiritual development and understanding ... even if by the end of the book you are convinced you aren't a Freudian.
