DREAM DREAM MECHANISM Sexologist, cocaine addict, prime inspiration for the Surrealist Movement... and one of the greatest revolutionary thinkers of the 20th century; Sigmund Freud was the founder of modern psychoanalysis, and his key works were in the unlocking of the secrets of dreams. In Dream Psychology, Freud distils and crystallizes the essence of his two key works in this field: The Interpretation Of Dreams (1900), and On Dreams (1901). Defining some of the key concepts of automatism and dream mechanism which would be later incorporated into the first manifestos of Surrealism, Dream Psychology is an indispensible introduction to Freud, his fundamental principles of oneiric psychoanalysis, and his influence on subsequent generations of thinkers, writers and artists alike. It is also a primary resource for all those intrigued by the occult meaning of dreams. With essays by DM Mitchell and Candice Black on Freud, dreams and Surrealism. Translated by L. Red Liber. “Freud was a born storyteller, not only in the
hundreds of case histories he deployed, but in the master narratives
that he devised to underpin all human behaviour. It may be that Freud
is the great novelist of the 20th century.” “After Freud it is the outer world, the world
of physics, which will have to be eroticised and quantified.” “It was round a discovery of language that there
was seeking to organize itself in 1920 what—as yet on a basis of
confidential exchange—assumed the name of Surrealism... All credit
for these discoveries must go to Freud.” SOLAR RESEARCH ARCHIVE 1
