Who Is Sigmund Freud?

Claiming he had discovered the "royal road to the unconscoius", Sigmund Frued published The Interpretation of Dreams at the turn of the 20th centry, and thus laid to foundation for his innovative technique of psychoanalysis. The raw material for The Interpretation of Dreams was provided by Freud himself. Spurred on by the death of his father, he bagan to analyzing his own dreams, in the process recreating lost childhood memories and uncovering the roots of his own neuroses. He concluded that dreams were filled with latent meaning, their bizarre imagery and peculiar narratives concealing deep-seated, instinctual motives and desires. By revealing how the seemingly trivial nonsense of dreams reflects inportant personal issues in the dreamer's present and past life. Freud created a key that unlocked the vital secrets of the unconcious mind. Quote-"As for the first, who could not confirm from his or her experience that, in the creations and weavings of the genius of the dream, there somtimes comes to light of a profoundity and sencerity of emotion, a tenderness of feeling, a clearness of view, a fineness of observation, and readiness of wit, all which we should modestly have to deny that we possess a constant property during the waking of life? The dream has a wonderful poetry, an excelent allegory, an imcomparable humor, and a charming irony. It views the world under the guises of a peculiar idealistation and raises the effect of its manifestations into the most ingenious understanding of essence lying at its basis. It represents for us earthly beauty in true heavenly radiance, the sublime in the highest majesty, the actually frightful in the most grusome figure, and the ridiculous in the indescribably drastic comical; and at times we are so full of one of these impressions after awakening that we imagine that such a thing has never been offered to us by the real world" - The Interpretation of Dreams
