The Interpretation of Dreams


Read by LibriVox Volunteers

(3.9 stars; 47 reviews)

A neat book on dream analysis by the founding father of psychoanalysis. This book is about the inner theater and the workings of the mind in the dreaming state. Covering lots of topics, the Austrian psychoanalyst's work on dreams is worth reading for anyone who would get up with a question mark face, trying to remember the dream they had just moments before and trying to understand what message their dream was conveying, if at all it was.

Reviews

interesting book- hit or miss narration


(3 stars)

Some of the narration is really difficult to understand unfortunately

often incomprehensible


(3 stars)

I can speak Japanese. I don't mean to sound rude or harsh, but I would never volunteer to read hours of material that Japanese natives would listen to in their own tongue: I know it wouldn't sound pretty.... or perhaps even (in MANY moments) comprehensible.

Book on dreams...


(4 stars)

This book I enjoyed because it explains dreams and meaning of dreams.


(1 stars)

The voices are terrible and sometimes hard to understand. Sad.
