Largely ignored at first, the book would eventually be considered Freud’s most important work, one that, like Darwin’s \u003ci\u003eThe Origin of Species\u003c\/i\u003e, revolutionized the way human beings view themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe raw material for \u003ci\u003eThe Interpretation of Dreams\u003c\/i\u003e was provided by Freud himself. Spurred on by the death of his father, he began analyzing his own dreams, in the process recreating lost childhood memories and uncovering the roots of his own neuroses. He concluded that dreams were filled with latent meaning, their bizarre imagery and peculiar narratives concealing deep-seated, instinctual motives and desires. For example, his own problems stemmed from a repressed desire for his mother and hostility towards his father—the now-famous Oedipal complex. By revealing how the seemingly trivial nonsense of dreams reflect important personal issues in the dreamer’s present and past life, Freud created a key that unlocked the vital secrets of the unconscious mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA fascinating and beautifully written book, \u003ci\u003eThe Interpretation of Dreams\u003c\/i\u003e is an indefinable masterpiece that helped shape the mind of the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDaniel T.
