Decode the "Dream-Work": Go beyond the basics to truly master the intricate mechanisms of condensation, displacement, and symbolism that disguise our deepest wishes.
Analyze Freud's Own Dreams: Step into the role of the analyst as we dissect Freud's personal dreams, like the famous "Dream of Irma's Injection," to see his method in action.
Engage with the Critics: Don't just accept Freud's word. We'll explore the powerful scientific, feminist, and philosophical critiques that challenge the book's foundations.
