Interesting and informative, but long winded at times.
Skip the opening chapter on dream research and enjoy one of the most important and amazing books ever. This book messed me up. After I read it I realized how much being awake was like dreaming, and that in a sense I was walking around in a dream constructed by my unconscious.
Though Freud rejected nearly every premise in the long theoretical portion at the end -- during his long life -- this (including the concluding passage) is a work of genius, and fundamental to understanding Freud.
