The Interpretation of Dreams is a book by psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud. The book inaugurated the theory of Freudian dream analysis, which activity Freud famously described as "theroyal road to the understanding of unconscious mental processes.
In the following pages, I shall demonstrate that there is a psychological technique which makes it possible to interpret dreams, and that on the application of this technique, every dream will reveal itself as a psychological structure, full of significance, and one which may be assigned to a specific place in the psychic activities of the waking state. Further, I shall endeavour to elucidate the processes which underlie the strangeness and obscurity of dreams, and to deduce from these processes the nature of the psychic forces whose conflict or co-operation is responsible for our dreams.
