Summary
Sigmund Freud: Interpretation of dreams
Freud's theory of dreams represents an epoch-making scientific event, which is therefore also significant in many ways. First of all, dreams have been rehabilitated. Freud's contribution is that he placed dreams in the center of interest of Western man... Although Freud rehabilitated dreams, it should not be considered, as is often the case in the history of science, that he only discovered something that was long known and then forgotten. His approach to dreams is different from that which is predominantly cultivated in the analytic tradition. He without real predecessors, through the monumental work Interpretation of Dreams, introduces dreams into science... It can be said that with "The Interpretation of Dreams" the development of the psychoanalytic concept of personality began, and even more than that, namely, the research of the unconscious. In The Interpretation of Dreams, Freud introduces the topographical model and the concept of depth psychology, i.e. psychology that deals with psychological processes outside the field of consciousness.
