On Dreams

Central to Sigmund Freuds philosophy on psychoanalysis is the idea that dreams give a window into ones unconscious desires. This is the principal argument of his groundbreaking work The Interpretation of Dreams. However realizing the incredibly technical nature of that more robust work Freud felt that a simpler and more accessible derivation of his theories was necessary in order to popularize his ideas and to make them more accessible to the average person. On Dreams is the result of that endeavor and it is executed with masterful effect. On Dreams is a straightforward explanation of Freuds theories on dreams and serves as a great place to start for those who wish to learn more about this mans ideas and how they helped to form the field of psychoanalysis.
