book review

Beyond psychology, the book reshaped cultural and literary interpretation. Freud’s analysis of symbols—weapons as desire, buildings as the human body—gave artists and writers a framework to explore dreams as reflections of individual and cultural subconscious. Surrealist art, psychological thrillers, and modern literature all draw from its ideas, transforming personal dreams into universal narratives that bridge psychology and creative expression, leaving an indelible mark on cultural production.
