Features: Although Freud was initially only a psychoanalyst, his influence far exceeded the field of professional academia, becoming one of the few figures with worldwide fame in the 20th century. On one hand, he received both kind and hostile criticism and accusations from all over the world and across various fields; on the other hand, over time, he gained increasing understanding, praise, and higher recognition and status. Some ranked Freud alongside Einstein and Copernicus as one of the most influential figures of the 20th century, while others marked the emergence of Freudian theory as a dividing point in the history of human cognition, separating it into two distinct periods. In this book, Freud, on one hand, emphasized that dreams are expressions of unconscious desires, but on the other hand, he pointed out that this expression is not reckless or straightforward but rather modified and transformed. Furthermore, Freud provided a three-dimensional understanding of dreams and, through the analysis of numerous dream examples, explored how dreams modify desires, which is known as the "work of dreams."
