Sigmund Freud The Interpretation of Dreams with an introduction by Stephen Wilson WORDSWORTH CLASSICS OF WORLD LITERATURE Just keep an open mind and figure that not every dream has some deep psychological meaning. Dreams are also often merely entertainment for the mind while we're asleep.Though much has changed in psychology over the past century since Freud, I would recommend reading "The Interpretation of Dreams". Dreams can vary in any of us from night to night and each can serve a different purpose. We've also learned that dreams can fill multiple functions, not just learning but also, as Freud proposed, wish fulfillment and the mind's attempt to deal with traumas. Since Freud we've learned that dreams often are a way for our minds to incorporate the day's events, to help us learn what we think we've learned. Unlike traditional cult and folk approaches, Freud tried to apply psychology to interpreting dreams rather than spiritual or religious mythoi. There is still no precise science to this endeavor - though over the past century much more has been learned about neurology and the mind, reshaping psychology dramatically since Freud. Sigmund Freud's "The Interpretation of Dreams" is a fascinating subject.
