Freud Sex and Dreams A Beginner's Guide to Dream Psychology Author:Sigmund Freud Sigmund Freud, the father of modern Psychology, was well known for his extraordinary work in dream analysis. He concluded that the unconscious mind is unleashed during the dream state. For this reason he saw an opportunity in dreams to peer into his patient’s darkest desires and deepest fears.

Freud’s genius lied in his ability to identify core issues that trouble his patients. Very often the issues at hand are very personal and his patients would never admit the true nature of their dilemmas. Only when recalling their dreams would his patients unwittingly reveal their unconscious mind to the questions of an experienced inquisitor. With this insight into his patient’s hidden psyche, and his own vast experience, Freud would always come up with resourceful solutions to the tribulations that his patients faced.
