The Interpretation of Dreams, by Sigmund Freud

Published at the dawn of the 20th century, Freud's first major work changed the way the western world thought about dreams, and the whole human psyche. "A dream is the fulfillment of a wish" he argues. But often the fulfillment and the wish itself are hidden from the understanding of the dreamer. Although fraught with bias and error, and largely discounted today, Freud's dream theory paved the way for modern psychoanalysis.
