About this listen

What if your dreams were more than random images—what if they were secret messages from your unconscious mind? In this episode, we unpack Sigmund Freud’s The Interpretation of Dreams, where he argues that dreams are disguised wish-fulfillments shaped by childhood desires, repressed memories, and symbolic codes. From the role of the "dream censor" to the connection between dreams and neuroses, we explore how Freud redefined our understanding of the mind. We also contrast his ideas with ancient and modern theories of dreaming, making this a fascinating deep dive into one of psychology’s most influential texts.
