Dream Psychology: Psychoanalysis for Beginners
Dream Psychology is a short introduction to Sigmund Freud's theory of dreams, translated by M. D. Eder and published in New York in 1920 with a preface by André Tridon. Its chapters argue that dreams have a meaning, describe the mechanism of condensation and displacement by which the dream disguises its wishes, explain the method of analysis, consider sexuality in dreams, and treat the dream as the fulfillment of a wish, its function in sleep, and the relation between the unconscious and conscious thought. The material is drawn from Freud's longer work on the interpretation of dreams and presented for readers without medical training. It was one of the first books through which Americans encountered psychoanalysis. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
