L'Interprétation des rêves

L'Interprétation des rêves, written by Sigmund Freud, explores how dreams reveal underlying thoughts and feelings. Freud believed that dreams are a window into the subconscious mind, representing hidden desires, conflicts, and memories often blocked during waking life. He proposed that analyzing dreams’ symbols and themes can help individuals better understand themselves and unresolved issues. The book introduced psychoanalytic concepts like the unconscious, repression, and the significance of symbolism, fundamentally shaping the understanding of mental processes related to desire and emotion.
