Freud explicitly states that he thinks the superstitious view of dreams is pretty close
- 00:57
to the truth. Answer (A) is incorrect. He also tells us that the interpretation of
- 01:02
dreams can help a psychologist connect the dots between a patient's conscious and unconscious mind.
- 01:07
(B) is a no-go. Freud definitely gets a jab in at his distinguished
- 01:12
colleagues when he says that they're overlooking the importance of dreams.
- 01:19
Choice (D) is the correct answer. Freud is all about dream interpretation, but he never
- 01:23
