Author Description

"When Sigmund Freud published The Interpretation of Dreams in 1900, he began the modern study of a phenomenon that has fascinated human beings for thousands of years. Declaring that dreams are doorways to the unconscious mind, Freud opened a new realm for artists and filmmakers who began looking inward to a new muse.". "Written to commemorate the centenary of Freud's classic work, this illustrated book examines the shifting roles that dreams have played in twentieth century art and science."--BOOK JACKET.
