ABSTRACT
Freud's dreams. This is perhaps Freud's most autobiographical work. He uses his own dreams to delineate how dreams are formed to be manifestly obscure, primarily visual and only via verbal “translation” communicated to one's self or others. But Freud's discovery of unconscious dream work (three techniques to conceal and a fourth more conscious technique) helps us learn how the hints to dream meaning (latent thoughts and wishes) are embedded within the dream and associations. We recognize that Freud's discoveries are in the genre of concealing/revealing narrative and like Maimonides (or Socrates or Aristotle) he preferred the dialogue to relay knowledge.
