Why do we dream? What hidden forces drive our fears, desires, and habits?

These are the questions that drove Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, to revolutionize our understanding of the human mind. He dared to suggest that we are not masters in our own houses, but are instead guided by a vast, hidden world he called the unconscious. His ideas were shocking, controversial, and they changed the world forever.
