The Interpretation of Dreams
Freud's groundbreaking work argues that dreams are the 'royal road to the unconscious,' revealing repressed wishes and desires. Through analysis of his own and patients' dreams, Freud develops concepts like the id, ego, and superego, dream symbolism, and the mechanisms of condensation and displacement. The work founded psychoanalysis and revolutionized psychology.
