In On Dreams, Sigmund Freud distills the essence of his groundbreaking work, The Interpretation of Dreams, into a concise and accessible exploration of the human psyche. First published in 1901, this seminal text offers a lucid summary of Freud's theories on how dreams function as veiled wish fulfillment, shaped by the unconscious mind.

Freud delves into the mechanisms that govern dream formation—such as condensation, displacement, dramatization, and censorship—revealing how these processes distort repressed desires into the surreal narratives we experience during sleep. Blending clinical observation with philosophical insight, he contrasts scientific and popular views of dreaming, examines the influence of daily life on dream content, and categorizes different types of dreams.

Ideal for students, psychologists, and anyone curious about the workings of the unconscious, On Dreams remains a timeless introduction to psychoanalytic thought and Freud's enduring legacy.
