Produktbeschreibung
"The World of Dreams" by Havelock Ellis is a comprehensive exploration of the complexities surrounding the dream world, written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the nature of dreams, employing various methods of analysis, with a focus on introspection while also considering clinical, literary, and experimental approaches. In the opening, Ellis introduces the challenges of studying dreams, particularly emphasizing the difficulties in recalling them due to the elusive nature of the dream state. He discusses how memory often fails to capture the full essence of dreams, which often seem to vanish upon waking. Ellis categorizes dream studies into different methods, each offering unique insights into the dream experience, but it is his emphasis on introspection that forms the foundation of his inquiry. The work examines the significance of dreams, probing how they reflect psychological processes and the unconscious mind. By setting the stage for a deeper exploration of how dreams influence waking life, Ellis invites readers to consider their dreams not just as fleeting occurrences, but as essential elements that may offer valuable insight into the psyche and personal experience.

He developed the theories of narcissism and autoeroticism, later accepted by psychoanalysis.
