Dream Life: A Re-Examination of the Psychoanalytic Theory and Technique

By Donald Meltzer

Dreams are my landscape, said Meltzer. In this book he re-establishes psychoanalysis as the art of reading dreams, and dream-life as the core of mental processes. Dreams are not just puzzles to be decoded, the effluence of past trauma or future wish-fulfilment; they are the psyche's attempt - with a varying level of aesthetic achievement - to symbolise its present emotional conflicts in order to re-orient itself toward the real world - meaning external and internal reality
