The Interpretation of Dreams (3rd edition) [NOOK Book]

Very Compelling

In this book full of the interpretations of dreams, I found it very compelling, some of the facts and studies of why we dream the way we do. Sigmund relates scenarios and dream experiences to his studies. There are plenty of theories from not so well know philosophers that related quite well to what he was talking about. Lots of information covering almost every aspect of dreams... I recommend this book to anybody who would like to study dreams or learn about their dreams.

Extraordinary Masterpiece!

This edition of Freud's landmark work is as much an elegant and beautiful art book as it is a guide to dream-interpretation. The pairing of fine art with psychoanalytic theory provides an incredible new angle through which to read the text. Surrealist masterpieces, contemporary art, and works by pre-Freudian artists who anticipated Freud's themes, are beautifully reproduced in this volume. The unique and clever hidden essays, by general editor Jefferey Moussaieff Masson, literally suggest an uncovering and revealing exercise that mirrors the delving process of exploring one's unconscious. Masson skillfully muses over and explains the book's major concepts while also scrutinizing the limitations, contradictions, and errors of Freud's work. This book is as compelling as it is outstanding and should be on everyone's coffee table.

The Interpretation of Dreams by Sigmund Freud (Barnes and Noble Classic Edition)

I bought this book for one of my term papers and I found that even after the research for the paper was done, I wanted to read the rest of the book. This book showcases Freud's innovative technique for psychoanalysis. It was an extremely interesting read, and it gives you something to think about.

This book was put together with plenty of background information such as detailed timelines of Freud's life, and an introduction that will help you understand Freud's work before you get to the difficult parts of the reading. This book also has informative footnotes. These added features to the book let you delve into the mind of Freud a little better.

Freud was a visionary

In my opinion The Interpretation of Dreams is the most influential book in the history of psychology, followed closely by the work of Carl Jung. Freud went to places that were controversial and untouched. The concept that men may all have sexual desires for their mothers was some racy stuff for his time. Freud's work is enlightening and several of the pillars of modern psychology. This is a great edition of Freud's legendary work.

Fail

All of the words were jumbled and it was barely even a nook. 800 pages of nonsense. Please don't waste your time with this ebook.

The interpretation of dreams is a wonderful book. However i was unable to enjoy the e-book because all of the pages were jumbled nonsense letters. Very upsetting. Oh, well. Guess i'll stick with paper.

Too many extra characters and i can generally figure out the main ideas. Not so in this case.

Not recommended

This version is absolutely unreadable on all pages which I checked. Apparently the ocr didn't work.

Fountainhead

This book is one of the great works of literature and also of science. It is akin to the greatest of the achievements of Newton or Einstein. To a layperson unacquainted to the impact of this book it is best described as the work that 'broke the code.' The language of the unconscious is the language of the dream, of neurotic symptoms, of psychosis and in this book Freud shows how this language can be translated into everyday language. Long after there is a store called 'Barnes and Nobles' there will be a book called 'Interpretation of Dreams.' You will be privileged to read this book and if you study it, you will become wiser.

Makes me look forward to dreaming

If you're interested in how the book evolved as the result of many updates, read the footnotes. If not, they're often useless and distracting. I look forward to reading more Freud

Freud rules...OH YEAH!

It was a work of genius, but I felt he missed the overall target...at least he paved the way for such a target to be reached. It is an important book for philosophers and psychologist alike.

An all time great but...

I much preferred Dreams: Gateway to the True Self. It just was easier to understand than Freud and no Edipus complex.
