Толкование сновидений

Freud's theories revolutionized psychology, but I'm curious about his personal motivations or experiences that led him to this focus. How did he develop his ideas about dreams revealing hidden desires?

Some of Freud's ideas feel dense and dated, which made me wonder if modern readers find it more approachable or if it still holds universal relevance.

Considering advances in neuroscience and psychology, I'm curious whether Freud's ideas are still seen as foundational or more as historical curiosity.
