Dream Psychology Paperback – December 23, 2011

I love reading anything Freud...if you are interested in dreams and what they mean...and not just those stupid dream dictionaries...I would highly recommend reading Freud and Carl Jung...2 excellent psychologists who have great theories about dreams and the unconscious mind.Thank you for reading my review, please let me know if you found this to be helpful. I like to know that it is worth my time to write these reviews. Have a great day!I rely on reviews to help me make a decision when shopping online. I do keep my posts updated if the item breaks or exceeds my expectations for an extended time.

So many people go to Freud for advice on dreams? He's the first to think this way about consciousness? People in the 20th century write like a machine! Freud sounded like he was alone in a wooden home often in the cold. Didn't really say that much about himself as he was pounding away at his studies. Scary dreams or wet dreams, it doesn't matter, Freud would have listened. Funny, He brings up telescopes a few times.

I don't really like Freud so much, I mean he did an awesome job, but I'm not so much for psychoanalysis and looking for a meaning in every tiny detail. Till now I only had read the parts from his books so I decided to read the full book. The beginning seemed funny to me, but then it got serious and really interesting to read.

Freud describes very well how the dream is formed and composed, how to interpret it... but in some passages it was too detailed with tecnifiques that could be familiar to psychologists not general readers like me.The best parts of the books are in the first pages and from that point onwards in the examples and how they are manifestations of the unconscious.

I recently decided to reacquaint myself with Freud’s written works and this was the second book I chose to read. Whether you like his style of psychoanalysis or not, Freud is always a good read. Dream Psychology fascinates me and I think this is a great book that explains the psychoanalysis of dreams. One thing is for certain: Freud is never boring!

I used to think the book was provocative and revolutionary. After a reread, passed time, and experience - I have my disagreements. There is no question that this book dramatically effected the world in which we live. In any debate you must understand the arguments of the other side. This book provides a foundation for understanding modern day psychology.

I got the kindle version of the book as it cost less. And honestly would advice the book to any psych major or if you just have interest in psychology. It gives a great insight on Freud's Ideas and theories. The book was originally written in early 1900 so yes it is an original.

Well, I don't think I can agree with Freud's interpretations of dreams or explanations. I hardly think that if I dream that I am out in public wearing a Sun hat surrounded by tall beach umbrellas wishing to sit at a table with thick tall legs, that I'd be interpreted as dreaming about being surrounded by penis in public. Sexualizing every dream is a bit far fetched in my opinion. I hardly think that if my kids dream about me, they are actually thinking of me in a sexualized way. On the same topic, if I dream of my children or parent I most definitely am not secretly wishing to involve myself in incest. I'm almost sorry that I read this. I'm interested in dream interpretation but not if that means everything I dream about is sexualized. I think maybe Mr. Freud was projecting his oversexed thoughts with the excuse of interpretation of others.
