Dream Psychology - The Interpretation of Dreams by Sigmund Freud, first published in German in November 1899 as Die Traumdeutung, revolutionized our thinking of the human subconscious.
The Interpretation of Dreams is an important piece in the history of psychology as it unravels the mystery of what our dreams mean changing the way we think about ourselves. Understanding dreams furthers our understanding of ourselves revealing more than we may wish to in terms of previous trauma, sexuality and wish fulfillment. The publication introduced the theory of Freudian dream analysis, described by Freud as "the royal road to the understanding of unconscious mental processes".
Freud commonly referred to as "the father of psychoanalysis", has been highly influential in popularizing the notions of the unconscious, defense mechanisms, Freudian slips and dream symbolism, his theories remain controversial and widely disputed. This remarkable contribution to cognitive psychology cannot be underestimated and remains compulsory reading for all psychologists.
