I have always believed dreams are not random flickers of imagination, but coded messages from the deepest layers of the mind. With a master’s degree in psychology and years of personal fascination with the unconscious, I found myself inevitably drawn to Sigmund Freud’s The Interpretation of Dreams. Freud suggested that dreams are the “royal road to the unconscious,” and I have come to believe this road runs straight through memory, guilt, desire, and loss. The dreams in this book are all my own—revisited, expanded into narrative, and interpreted through an unashamedly Freudian ...

Por trás de todos os tormentos humanos, existe uma relação conflituosa com o aspecto sexual. Esta é uma das crenças de Sigmund Freud, o pai da psicanálise e um dos teóricos mais influentes do século XX. O médico alemão revolucionou o tratamento para as neuroses e deu início ao mais importante aspecto da psicologia: a escuta. Sem isso, a prática clínica— como conhecemos hoje — seria inviável, e Freud teria sido incapaz de teorizar sobre o inconsciente, a sexualidade e os sonhos.

Der weltbekannte Psychotherapeut und Bestsellerautor Irvin D.
