Freud's Dream Theory

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Freud held that dreams express unconscious wishes, with manifest content disguising a latent meaning.

Show

A dream of missing a train is interpreted as a disguised wish concerning an obligation the dreamer resents.

Watch for

The theory generates interpretations for any dream, which is what places it outside falsifiable testing.
