The Interpretation of Dreams (by Sigmund Freud)

"The Interpretation of Dreams," written by Sigmund Freud, explores the idea that dreams represent our unconscious thoughts and desires. Freud proposes that dreams serve as a window into our hidden emotions, conflicts, and wishes, often manifesting in symbolic forms. He introduces concepts like the "id," "ego," and "superego" to illustrate how our primal instincts, societal norms, and moral values interact in our psyche. By analyzing dreams, Freud believed we could better understand our subconscious mind, ultimately helping us resolve inner conflicts and gain insights into our behaviors and emotions.
