Description
This is a critical study of post-Freudian psychoanalytic contributions to the understanding of the dream. The book surveys the bulk of the psychoanalytic literature on the subject, and seeks to offer a brief presentation of what has been achieved toward clarifying the role and meaning of dreams. Fliess points out that Freud’s own work in this area was exhaustive, and what has been offered in the ensuing period is meager by comparison. The work ends with an original paper by Fliess on the spoken word as it occurs in the dream.
