"This book is necessary for the comprehension of Freud's project. Dream analysis is the foundation of Psychoanalysis. This book takes the reader through Freud's thinking and examples of dreams."

Still, the material is incredibly complicated, particulary the theories in Chapter 7 regarding a psychological mechanism he calls condensation ..."
