chravisdeyoung 's review for:
Dream Psychology (Psychoanalysis for Beginners)
by Sigmund Freud
Maybe I walked into this with too high of expectations, but I thought that this book would kind of explain all of my dreams and it really didn't. I was hoping to answer questions like why do I always dream about smoking cigarettes even though I don't smoke or why is my hair always blue in my dreams, but Freud didn't help me one bit. Ok, to be fair, maybe Freud did answer all my questions but his translator or my thick skull didn't get me the answers I needed. I say this because this book was pretty hard to follow. Like if I wasn't given the read my full attention I got lost and confused. Like I knew almost every word in this book but the context the words were being used in was hard to digest. It was like reading an essay where every word had been replaced with its thesaurus superior (sorry that's the best I can do at describing it, iykyk).
For the parts that I did understand, I didn't really agree with what was said especially in the dream symbolism department. Like is it just me or is going up and down stairs as a symbol for sex kind of a stretch? Like maybe I just want to workout the legs or get lightheaded. But, then again, I have 0 idea what I'm talking about and felt like a 4 year old while reading this book.
