Traum und Telepathie: Vortrag in der Wiener psychoanalytischen Vereinigung

A psychoanalyst investigates claims that some dreams convey telepathic information, stating he will not adjudicate telepathy's reality but will test whether alleged telepathic dreams challenge dream theory. He reports absence of convincing personal or clinical evidence, examines two correspondent cases, critiques the literature for lacking analytic interpretation, and argues that purported telepathic content can be accounted for by unconscious wishes, symbolic dream processes, and coincidence; he concludes that confirmed telepathic dreams would not require revision of the established theory of dreams.

About the Author

Freud, Sigmund portrait

Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) was an Austrian neurologist and the founder of psychoanalysis, a clinical method for treating psychopathology through dialogue between a patient and a psychoanalyst. He is best known for his theories of the unconscious mind, the mechanism of repression, and the significance of dreams in understanding human behavior. Freud's influential works include "The Interpretation of Dreams," where he explores the symbolic meanings of dreams, and "Beyond the Pleasure Principle," which examines the motivations behind human behavior. His ideas have profoundly impacted psychology, literature, and the arts, making him a pivotal figure in the development of modern thought.
