The Interpretation of Dreams

Freud's work delves into the unconscious mind through dream interpretation, laying the groundwork for psychoanalysis and introducing concepts like the Oedipus complex. The book underwent multiple revisions, with significant additions on dream symbolism influenced by contemporaries. Initially published in a limited run, it gained popularity over time, leading to further editions. Notably, Freud's personal experiences, including a pivotal dream during a summer retreat, shaped his insights. This text remains a cornerstone of his legacy and a profound exploration of human psychology.
