Irma's Injection

Irma's Injection

Irma’s Injection is the name given to the dream that Sigmund Freud dreamt on the night of July 23rd, 1895. Freud used his analysis of this historic dream to arrive at his theory that dreams are wish fulfillments. He described his ideas on dream theory in his book ‘’The Interpretation of Dreams’’. Freud later noted that Irma’s Injection was the first dream he had meticulously interpreted. Although he spent much time analyzing it, he did confess that his interpretation had gaps and did not completely uncover the meaning of his dream.
