The Interpretation of Dreams Summary

Dream is a "royal road" to the knowledge of the unconscious, the mysterious sphere of the psychic life of a person. There is always a sense in it, our desires are reflected. Psychoanalysis explains the nature of this puzzle, revealing the secret of sleep.

The book begins with a review of significant theories about the nature of dreams, accumulated before the writing of this monograph. Analyzing these theories, the author singles out the main ideas of knowledge about dreams. The book concludes with the idea that a dream "carries us to the future, but this future is a copy and reproduction of the past."
