La interpretación de los sueños

Sigmund Freud's 'The Interpretation of Dreams' introduces his theory that dreams are the disguised fulfillments of repressed wishes.

It explores the concepts of manifest content (the dream's surface narrative) and latent content (the hidden psychological meanings).

Freud details the processes of condensation, displacement, and symbolization through which unconscious thoughts are transformed into dream images.

The book also examines the Oedipus complex and its role in dream formation.

Freud argues that analyzing dreams provides access to the unconscious mind, revealing insights into a person's deepest desires and conflicts, thus forming a cornerstone of psychoanalytic theory.
