Freud's seminal work on understanding the human mind, this is his greatest & most important book--the work in which he develops his psychoanalytic technique. Freud not only showed us that dreams are full of meaning, but demonstrated that dreams are intimately connected with both normal & abnormal states. He also demonstrated the power and meaning of dreams as a tool to reveal the cryptic mechanisms of phobias, obsessions, and a potent means to heal them.

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.
