INTRODUCTORY REMARKS
In attempting a discussion of the Interpretation of Dreams, I do not believe
that I have overstepped the bounds of neuropathological interest. For, on
psychological investigation, the dream proves to be the first link in a chain of
abnormal psychic structures whose other links, the hysterical phobia, the
obsession, and the delusion must, for practical reasons, claim the interest of
the physician. The dream (as will appear) can lay no claim to a corresponding
practical significance; its theoretical value as a paradigm is, however, all the
greater, and one who cannot explain the origin of the dream pictures will
strive in vain to understand the phobias, obsessive and delusional ideas, and
likewise their therapeutic importance.
But this relation, to which our subject owes its importance, is
responsible also for the deficiencies in the work before us. The surfaces of
fracture which will be found so frequently in this discussion correspond to so
many points of contact at which the problem of the dream formation touches
more comprehensive problems of psychopathology, which cannot be
discussed here, and which will be subjected to future elaboration if there
should be sufficient time and energy, and if further material should be
forthcoming.
Peculiarities in the material I have used to elucidate the interpretation of
dreams have rendered this publication difficult. From the work itself it will
appear why all dreams related in the literature or collected by others had to
remain useless for my purpose; for examples I had to choose between my
own dreams and those of my patients who were under psychoanalytic
treatment. I was restrained from utilising the latter material by the fact that in
it the dream processes were subjected to an undesirable complication on
account of the intermixture of neurotic characters. On the other hand,
inseparably connected with my own dreams was the circumstance that I was
obliged to expose more of the intimacies of my psychic life than I should like
and than generally falls to the task of an author who is not a poet but an
investigator of nature. This was painful, but unavoidable; I had to put up with
the inevitable in order not to be obliged to forego altogether the
demonstration of the truth of my psychological results. To be sure, I could
not at best resist the temptation of disguising some of my indiscretions
through omissions and substitutions, and as often as this happened it
detracted materially from the value of the examples which I employed. I can
only express the hope that the reader of this work, putting himself in my
difficult position, will show forbearance, and also that all persons who are
inclined to take offence at any of the dreams reported will concede freedom
of thought at least to the dream life.
PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION
If there has arisen a demand for a second edition of this rather difficult book
before the end of the first decade, I owe no gratitude to the interest of the
professional circles to whom I appealed in the preceding sentences. My
colleagues in psychiatry, apparently, have made no effort to shake off the
first surprise which my new conception of the dream evoked, and the
professional philosophers, who are accustomed to treat the problem of dream
life as a part of the states of consciousness, devoting to it a few—for the most
part identical—sentences, have apparently failed to observe that in this field
could be found all kinds of things which would inevitably lead to a thorough
transformation of our psychological theories. The behaviour of the scientific
critics could only justify the expectation that this work of mine was destined
to be buried in oblivion; and the small troop of brave pupils who follow my
leadership in the medical application of psychoanalysis, and also follow my
example in analysing dreams in order to utilise these analyses in the treatment
of neurotics, would not have exhausted the first edition of the book. I
therefore feel indebted to that wider circle of intelligent seekers after truth
whose co-operation has procured for me the invitation to take up anew, after
nine years, the difficult and in so many respects fundamental work.
I am glad to be able to say that I have found little to change. Here and
there I have inserted new material, added new views from my wider
experience, and attempted to revise certain points; but everything essential
concerning the dream and its interpretation, as well as the psychological
propositions derived from it, has remained unchanged: at least, subjectively,
it has stood the test of time. Those who are acquainted with my other works
on the Etiology and Mechanism of the Psychoneuroses, know that I have
never offered anything unfinished as finished, and that I have always striven
to change my assertions in accordance with my advancing views; but in the
realm of the dream life I have been able to stand by my first declarations.
During the long years of my work on the problems of the neuroses, I have
been repeatedly confronted with doubts, and have often made mistakes; but it
was always in the “interpretation of dreams” that I found my bearings. My
numerous scientific opponents, therefore, show an especially sure instinct
when they refuse to follow me into this territory of dream investigation.
Likewise, the material used in this book to illustrate the rules of dream
interpretation, drawn chiefly from dreams of my own which have been
depreciated and outstripped by events, have in the revision shown a
persistence which resisted substantial changes. For me, indeed, the book has
still another subjective meaning which I could comprehend only after it had
been completed. It proved to be for me a part of my self-analysis, a reaction
to the death of my father—that is, to the most significant event, the deepest
loss, in the life of a man. After I recognised this I felt powerless to efface the
traces of this influence. For the reader, however, it makes no difference from
what material he learns to value and interpret dreams.

Berchtesgaden, Summer of 1908.

PREFACE TO THE THIRD EDITION


Whereas a period of nine years elapsed between the first and second editions
of this book, the need for a third edition has appeared after little more than a
year. I have reason to be pleased with this change; but, just as I have not
considered the earlier neglect of my work on the part of the reader as a proof
of its unworthiness, I am unable to find in the interest manifested at present a
proof of its excellence.
The progress in scientific knowledge has shown its influence on The
Interpretation of Dreams. When I wrote it in 1899 the “Sexual Theories” was
not yet in existence, and the analysis of complicated forms of psychoneuroses
was still in its infancy. The interpretation of dreams was destined to aid in the
psychological analysis of the neuroses, but since then the deeper
understanding of the neuroses has reacted on our conception of the dream.
The study of dream interpretation itself has continued to develop in a
direction upon which not enough stress was laid in the first edition of this
book. From my own experience, as well as from the works of W. Stekel and
others, I have since learned to attach a greater value to the extent and the
significance of symbolism in dreams (or rather in the unconscious thinking).
Thus much has accumulated in the course of this year which requires
consideration. I have endeavoured to do justice to this new material by
numerous insertions in the text and by the addition of footnotes. If these
supplements occasionally threaten to warp the original discussion, or if, even
with their aid, we have been unsuccessful in raising the original text to the
niveau of our present views, I must beg indulgence for the gaps in the book,
as they are only consequences and indications of the present rapid
development of our knowledge. I also venture to foretell in what other
directions later editions of The Interpretation of Dreams—in case any should
be demanded—will differ from the present one. They will have, on the one
hand, to include selections from the rich material of poetry, myth, usage of
language, and folklore, and, on the other hand, to treat more profoundly the
relations of the dream to the neuroses and to mental diseases.
Mr. Otto Rank has rendered me valuable service in the selection of the
addenda and in reading the proof sheets. I am gratefully indebted to him and
to many others for their contributions and corrections.

Vienna, Spring of 1911.

TRANSLATOR’S PREFACE
Since the appearance of the author’s Selected Papers on Hysteria and other
Psychoneuroses, and Three Contributions to the Sexual Theory, 1 much has
been said and written about Freud’s works. Some of our readers have made
an honest endeavour to test and utilise the author’s theories, but they have
been handicapped by their inability to read fluently very difficult German, for
only two of Freud’s works have hitherto been accessible to English readers.
For them this work will be of invaluable assistance. To be sure, numerous
articles on the Freudian psychology have of late made their appearance in our
literature;2 but these scattered papers, read by those unacquainted with the
original work, often serve to confuse rather than enlighten. For Freud cannot
be mastered from the reading of a few pamphlets, or even one or two of his
original works. Let me repeat what I have so often said: No one is really
qualified to use or to judge Freud’s psychoanalytic method who has not
thoroughly mastered his theory of the neuroses—The Interpretation of
Dreams, Three Contributions to the Sexual Theory, The Psychopathology of
Everyday Life, and Wit and Its Relation to the Unconscious, and who has not
had considerable experience in analysing the dreams and psychopathological
actions of himself and others. That there is required also a thorough training
in normal and abnormal psychology goes without saying.
The Interpretation of Dreams is the author’s greatest and most
important work; it is here that he develops his psychoanalytic technique, a
thorough knowledge of which is absolutely indispensable for every worker in
this field. The difficult task of making a translation of this work has,
therefore, been undertaken primarily for the purpose of assisting those who
are actively engaged in treating patients by Freud’s psychoanalytic method.
Considered apart from its practical aim, the book presents much that is of
interest to the psychologist and the general reader. For, notwithstanding the
fact that dreams have of late years been the subject of investigation at the
hands of many competent observers, only few have contributed anything
tangible towards their solution; it was Freud who divested the dream of its
mystery, and solved its riddles. He not only showed us that the dream is full
of meaning, but amply demonstrated that it is intimately connected with
normal and abnormal mental life. It is in the treatment of the abnormal mental
states that we must recognise the most important value of dream
interpretation. The dream does not only reveal to us the cryptic mechanisms
of hallucinations, delusions, phobias, obsessions, and other
psychopathological conditions, but it is also the most potent instrument in the
removal of these.3
I take this opportunity of expressing my indebtedness to Professor F. C.
Prescott for reading the manuscript and for helping me overcome the almost
insurmountable difficulties in the translation.

THE SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE ON THE PROBLEMS OF THE
DREAM4
In the following pages I shall prove that there exists a psychological
technique by which dreams may be interpreted, and that upon the application
of this method every dream will show itself to be a senseful psychological
structure which may be introduced into an assignable place in the psychic
activity of the waking state. I shall furthermore endeavour to explain the
processes which give rise to the strangeness and obscurity of the dream, and
to discover through them the nature of the psychic forces which operate,
whether in combination or in opposition, to produce the dream. This
accomplished, my investigation will terminate, as it will have reached the
point where the problem of the dream meets with broader problems, the
solution of which must be attempted through other material.
I must presuppose that the reader is acquainted with the work done by
earlier authors as well as with the present status of the dream problem in
science, since in the course of this treatise I shall not often have occasion to
return to them. For, notwithstanding the effort of several thousand years, little
progress has been made in the scientific understanding of dreams. This has
been so universally acknowledged by the authors that it seems unnecessary to
quote individual opinions. One will find in the writings indexed at the end of
this book many stimulating observations and plenty of interesting material for
our subject, but little or nothing that concerns the true nature of the dream or
that solves definitively any of its enigmas. Still less of course has been
transmitted to the knowledge of the educated laity.
The first book in which the dream is treated as an object of psychology
seems to be that of Aristotle (Concerning Dreams and their Interpretation).
Aristotle asserts that the dream is of demoniacal, though not of divine nature,
which indeed contains deep meaning, if it be correctly interpreted. He was
also acquainted with some of the characteristics of dream life, e.g., he knew
that the dream turns slight sensations perceived during sleep into great ones
(“one imagines that one walks through fire and feels hot, if this or that part of
the body becomes slightly warmed”), which led him to conclude that dreams
might easily betray to the physician the first indications of an incipient
change in the body passing unnoticed during the day. I have been unable to
go more deeply into the Aristotelian treatise, because of insufficient
preparation and lack of skilled assistance.
As every one knows, the ancients before Aristotle did not consider the
dream a product of the dreaming mind, but a divine inspiration, and in
ancient times the two antagonistic streams, which one finds throughout in the
estimates of dream life, were already noticeable. They distinguished between
true and valuable dreams, sent to the dreamer to warn him or to foretell the
future, and vain, fraudulent, and empty dreams, the object of which was to
misguide or lead him to destruction.5 This pre-scientific conception of the
dream among the ancients was certainly in perfect keeping with their general
view of life, which was wont to project as reality in the outer world that
which possessed reality only within the mind. It, moreover, accounted for the
main impression made upon the waking life by the memory left from the
dream in the morning, for in this memory the dream, as compared with the
rest of the psychic content, seems something strange, coming, as it were,
from another world. It would likewise be wrong to suppose that the theory of
the supernatural origin of dreams lacks followers in our own day; for leaving
out of consideration all bigoted and mystical authors—who are perfectly
justified in adhering to the remnants of the once extensive realm of the
supernatural until they have been swept away by scientific explanation—one
meets even sagacious men averse to anything adventurous, who go so far as
to base their religious belief in the existence and co-operation of superhuman
forces on the inexplicableness of the dream manifestations (Haffner). The
validity ascribed to the dream life by some schools of philosophy, e.g., the
school of Schelling, is a distinct echo of the undisputed divinity of dreams in
antiquity, nor is discussion closed on the subject of the mantic or prophetic
power of dreams. This is due to the fact that the attempted psychological
explanations are too inadequate to overcome the accumulated material,
however strongly all those who devote themselves to a scientific mode of
thought may feel that such assertions should be repudiated.
To write a history of our scientific knowledge of dream problems is so
difficult because, however valuable some parts of this knowledge may have
been, no progress in definite directions has been discernible. There has been
no construction of a foundation of assured results upon which future
investigators could continue to build, but every new author takes up the same
problems afresh and from the very beginning. Were I to follow the authors in
chronological order, and give a review of the opinions each has held
concerning the problems of the dream, I should be prevented from drawing a
clear and complete picture of the present state of knowledge on the subject. I
have therefore preferred to base the treatment upon themes rather than upon
the authors, and I shall cite for each problem of the dream the material found
in the literature for its solution.
But as I have not succeeded in mastering the entire literature, which is
widely disseminated and interwoven with that on other subjects, I must ask
my readers to rest content provided no fundamental fact or important view-
point be lost in my description.
Until recently most authors have been led to treat the subjects of sleep
and dream in the same connection, and with them they have also regularly
treated analogous states of psychopathology, and other dreamlike states like
hallucinations, visions, etc. In the more recent works, on the other hand, there
has been a tendency to keep more closely to the theme, and to take as the
subject one single question of the dream life. This change, I believe, is an
expression of the conviction that enlightenment and agreement in such
obscure matters can only be brought about by a series of detailed
investigations. It is such a detailed investigation and one of a special
psychological nature, that I would offer here. I have little occasion to study
the problem of sleep, as it is essentially a psychological problem, although
the change of functional determinations for the mental apparatus must be
included in the character of sleep. The literature of sleep will therefore not be
considered here.
A scientific interest in the phenomena of dreams as such leads to the
following in part interdependent inquiries:
(a) The Relation of the Dream to the Waking State
The naïve judgment of a person on awakening assumes that the dream
—if indeed it does not originate in another world—at any rate has taken the
dreamer into another world. The old physiologist, Burdach, to whom we are
indebted for a careful and discriminating description of the phenomena of
dreams, expressed this conviction in an often-quoted passage: “The waking
life never repeats itself with its trials and joys, its pleasures and pains, but, on
the contrary, the dream aims to relieve us of these. Even when our whole
mind is filled with one subject, when profound sorrow has torn our hearts or
when a task has claimed the whole power of our mentality, the dream either
gives us something entirely strange, or it takes for its combinations only a
few elements from reality, or it only enters into the strain of our mood and
symbolises reality.”
L. Strümpell expresses himself to the same effect in his Nature and
Origin of Dreams, a study which is everywhere justly held in high respect:
“He who dreams turns his back upon the world of waking consciousness.”
“In the dream the memory of the orderly content of the waking consciousness
and its normal behaviour is as good as entirely lost.” “The almost complete
isolation of the mind in the dream from the regular normal content and course
of the waking state . . .”
But the overwhelming majority of the authors have assumed a contrary
view of the relation of the dream to waking life. Thus Haffner: “First of all
the dream is the continuation of the waking state. Our dreams always unite
themselves with those ideas which have shortly before been in our
consciousness. Careful examination will nearly always find a thread by which
the dream has connected itself with the experience of the previous day.”
Weygandt, flatly contradicts the above cited statement of Burdach: “For it
may often be observed, apparently in the great majority of dreams, that they
lead us directly back into everyday life, instead of releasing us from it.”
Maury, says in a concise formula: “We dream of what we have seen, said,
desired or done.” Jessen, in his Psychology, published in 1855, is somewhat
more explicit: “The content of dreams is more or less determined by the
individual personality, by age, sex, station in life, education, habits, and by
events and experiences of the whole past life.”
The ancients had the same idea about the dependence of the dream
content upon life. I cite Radestock: “When Xerxes, before his march against
Greece, was dissuaded from this resolution by good counsel, but was again
and again incited by dreams to undertake it, one of the old rational dream-
interpreters of the Persians, Artabanus, told him very appropriately that
dream pictures mostly contain that of which one has been thinking while
awake.”
In the didactic poem of Lucretius, De Rerum Natura (IV, v. 959),
occurs this passage:—

“And to whatever pursuit

We most cling absorbed, or on what affairs

We have theretofore tarried much,

And mind has strained upon the most, in sleep

we seem to go at the same.

The lawyers seem to plead and cite laws,

Commanders to fight and engage in battles,” etc., etc.

Cicero (De Divinatione, II.) says quite similarly, as does also Maury
much later:—
“And it is mainly those of which we thought or that we made which, by
the traces which they left in the soul, maintain the agitation there.”
The contradiction expressed in these two views as to the relation
between dream life and waking life seems indeed insoluble. It will therefore
not be out of place to mention the description of F. W. Hildebrandt (1875),
who believes that the peculiarities of the dream can generally be described
only by calling them a “series of contrasts which apparently shade off into
contradictions.” “The first of these contrasts is formed on the one hand by the
strict isolation or seclusion of the dream from true and actual life, and on the
other hand by the continuous encroachment of the one upon the other, and the
constant dependency of one upon the other. The dream is something
absolutely separated from the reality experienced during the waking state;
one may call it an existence hermetically sealed up and separated from real
life by an unsurmountable chasm. It frees us from reality, extinguishes
normal recollection of reality, and places us in another world and in a totally
different life, which at bottom has nothing in common with reality. . . .”
Hildebrandt then asserts that in falling asleep our whole being, with all its
forms of existence, disappears “as through an invisible trap door.” In the
dream one is perhaps making a voyage to St. Helena in order to offer the
imprisoned Napoleon something exquisite in the way of Moselle wine. One is
most amicably received by the ex-emperor, and feels almost sorry when the
interesting illusion is destroyed on awakening. But let us now compare the
situation of the dream with reality. The dreamer has never been a wine
merchant, and has no desire to become one. He has never made a sea voyage,
and St. Helena is the last place he would take as destination for such a
voyage. The dreamer entertains no sympathetic feeling for Napoleon, but on
the contrary a strong patriotic hatred. And finally the dreamer was not yet
among the living when Napoleon died on the island; so that it was beyond the
reach of possibility for him to have had any personal relations with Napoleon.
The dream experience thus appears as something strange, inserted between
two perfectly harmonising and succeeding periods.
“Nevertheless,” continues Hildebrandt, “the opposite is seemingly just
as true and correct. I believe that hand in hand with this seclusion and
isolation there can still exist the most intimate relation and connection. We
may justly say that no matter what the dream offers, it finds its material in
reality and in the psychic life arrayed around this reality. However strange the
dream may seem, it can never detach itself from reality, and its most sublime
as well as its most farcical structures must always borrow their elementary
material either from what we have seen with our eyes in the outer world, or
from what has previously found a place somewhere in our waking thoughts;
in other words, it must be taken from what we had already experienced either
objectively or subjectively.”
(b) The Material of the Dream.—Memory in the Dream
That all the material composing the content of the dream in some way
originates in experience, that it is reproduced in the dream, or recalled,—this
at least may be taken as an indisputable truth. Yet it would be wrong to
assume that such connection between dream content and reality will be
readily disclosed as an obvious product of the instituted comparison. On the
contrary, the connection must be carefully sought, and in many cases it
succeeds in eluding discovery for a long time. The reason for this is to be
found in a number of peculiarities evinced by the memory in dreams, which,
though universally known, have hitherto entirely eluded explanation. It will
be worth while to investigate exhaustively these characteristics.
It often happens that matter appears in the dream content which one
cannot recognise later in the waking state as belonging to one’s knowledge
and experience. One remembers well enough having dreamed about the
subject in question, but cannot recall the fact or time of the experience. The
dreamer is therefore in the dark as to the source from which the dream has
been drawing, and is even tempted to believe an independently productive
activity on the part of the dream, until, often long afterwards, a new episode
brings back to recollection a former experience given up as lost, and thus
reveals the source of the dream. One is thus forced to admit that something
has been known and remembered in the dream that has been withdrawn from
memory during the waking state.
Delbœuf narrates from his own experience an especially impressive
example of this kind. He saw in his dream the courtyard of his house covered
with snow, and found two little lizards half-frozen and buried in the snow.
Being a lover of animals, he picked them up, warmed them, and put them
back into a crevice in the wall which was reserved for them. He also gave
them some small fern leaves that had been growing on the wall, which he
knew they were fond of. In the dream he knew the name of the plant:
Asplenium ruta muralis. The dream then continued, returning after a
digression to the lizards, and to his astonishment Delbœuf saw two other little
animals falling upon what was left of the ferns. On turning his eyes to the
open field he saw a fifth and a sixth lizard running into the hole in the wall,
and finally the street was covered with a procession of lizards, all wandering
in the same direction, etc.
In his waking state Delbœuf knew only a few Latin names of plants, and
nothing of the Asplenium. To his great surprise he became convinced that a
fern of this name really existed and that the correct name was Asplenium ruta
muraria, which the dream had slightly disfigured. An accidental coincidence
could hardly be considered, but it remained a mystery for Delbœuf whence he
got his knowledge of the name Asplenium in the dream.
The dream occurred in 1862. Sixteen years later, while at the house of
one of his friends, the philosopher noticed a small album containing dried
plants resembling the albums that are sold as souvenirs to visitors in many
parts of Switzerland. A sudden recollection occurred to him; he opened the
herbarium, and discovered therein the Asplenium of his dream, and
recognised his own handwriting in the accompanying Latin name. The
connection could now be traced. While on her wedding trip, a sister of this
friend visited Delbœuf in 1860—two years prior to the lizard dream. She had
with her at the time this album, which was intended for her brother, and
Delbœuf took the trouble to write, at the dictation of a botanist, under each of
the dried plants the Latin name.
The favourable accident which made possible the report of this valuable
example also permitted Delbœuf to trace another portion of this dream to its
forgotten source. One day in 1877 he came upon an old volume of an
