Conflict and Dreams 1923 is a book written by W. H. R. Rivers, a British anthropologist and psychiatrist.

The first part focuses on the psychology of conflict, exploring the ways in which war and other forms of violent conflict can impact the human psyche. Rivers examines the ways in which soldiers experience trauma and stress, and how these experiences can manifest in dreams. He also explores the ways in which dreams can be used as a tool for healing and recovery.The second part of the book focuses on the role of dreams in human culture, drawing on Rivers' studies of Melanesian societies.
