The book that made Sigmund Freud's reputation in the medical profession was "The Interpretation of Dreams" (1900) — part dream analysis, part autobiography, part theory of the mind, and part history of contemporary Vienna. The principle that underlay this work was that mental experiences, like physical ones, are part of nature. The most nonsensical notion, the most casual slip of the tongue, and the most fantastic dream must have a meaning and can be used to unriddle the often incomprehensible maneuvers we call thinking.
