SIGMUND FREUD CHRONOLOGY<br />

<strong>Freud</strong> spends the summer of 1899 in the farmhouse of<br />

Riemerlehen near Berchtesgaden, where he completes the final<br />

chapter of The Interpretation of Dreams. This book and the<br />

method of interpretation it sets out are to remain for the rest of his<br />

life his "royal road to the unconscious".<br />

In the introduction to the second edition of The Interpretation of<br />

Dreams which appears in 1908 <strong>Freud</strong> describes its<br />

autobiographical component in addition to its scientific<br />

significance: "For me this book also has a further and subjective<br />

meaning which I was only able to understand after its completion.<br />

It proved itself to be a part of my self-analysis, my reaction to the<br />

death of my father, that is, to the most significant event, the<br />

deepest loss in a man's life. After I had recognized this, I felt<br />

myself unable to cover the traces of this influence."<br />

Cartoon story which <strong>Freud</strong> published in "The Interpretation of<br />

Dreams": the young nurse is trying not to wake up and the dream<br />

turns out to be the guardian of sleep.
