Reading Freud - Dreams (Part 1 of 2)

Hi Folks,

Welcome to our Freud reading group. This group will be facilitated by myself and other graduate students studying this material.

It is welcome to all, even if you've never read Freud or any other psychology. However for this group we require attendees to read the paper(s) in advance in order to attend. It's ok if you didn't fully comprehend them, but please at least make an attempt to read them. We can then help clarify things for everyone during the event. Please if you can, also join our Reading Freud mailing list here:
https://groups.google.com/g/readingfreud/
The reason for the mailing list is because supplemental information regarding the event is often posted here.

For this event we will discuss a selection of readings on dreams from The Freud Reader by Peter Gay. This includes a selection from Freud's "The Interpretation of Dreams" and from Freud's "On Dreams". The readings are available here:

For this event, Part 1, please read pages 1 to 16 in the PDF this is the section on "The Interpretation of Dreams".

For Part 2, we will read the rest of the PDF, see the event here:

For a fun exercise please also bring along a dream you've had that you can share with the group for analysis.

I look forward to seeing you there!
