First sentence: How my interest in dreams began. The author of this book is not a doctor of medicine, let alone a doctor of philosophy. Indeed you may ask what his qualifications are for tackling this delicate subject. The reader has a right to know, and I can think of no better way of informing him than by relating quite simple how I came to write the book.
Description: This version has been based upon the 1964-Tchou Edition. The Appendix 'A dream under the influence of hasjiesh' from the orginal 1867-edition, was not included in the Tchou-version, so consequently also not in this editon. Also, this 'translation' should not be considered as a translation. Complete parts (e.g. part 2 of the original) are not in this version, and in fact it is a very abbreviated version. 
For more information and the first English translation of the missing appendix, see: 'An Historical View of Dreams and the Ways  to Direct Them;Practical Observations   by
