<p>Central to Sigmund Freud&rsquo;s philosophy on psychoanalysis is the idea that dreams give a window into one&rsquo;s unconscious desires. This is the principal argument of his groundbreaking work &ldquo;The Interpretation of Dreams&rdquo;, published in 1899. However, realizing the incredibly technical and dense nature of that more detailed work, Freud felt that a simpler and more accessible derivation of his theories was necessary in order to popularize his ideas and to make them more understandable to the average person. &ldquo;On Dreams&rdquo;, published in 1901 and translated into English in 1914, is the result of that endeavor and it is executed with masterful effect. &ldquo;On Dreams&rdquo; is a straightforward and simplified explanation of Freud&rsquo;s theories on dreams and their meanings, such as condensation, dramatization, displacement, repression, the three classes of dreams, and how dreams are affected by the events of the previous day. &ldquo;On Dreams&rdquo; serves as a great place to start for those who wish to learn more about the meanings of their own dreams, as well as how Freud&rsquo;s influential and important ideas helped to form the field of psychoanalysis.
