Sigmund Freud Quotes

Dreams really tell you about yourself more than anything else in this world could ever tell you.

Preach in your own house and to your own company

In each of us is another whom we do not know. He speaks to us in dreams and tells us how differently he sees us from the way we see ourselves.

Everyone who wills can hear the inner voice. It is within everyone.

Soul is just that inner spirit. I use that inner spirit for whatever it is I do.

Sometimes it's hard to tell where your instincts start and your baggage stops.

Dreams say what they mean, but they don't say it in daytime language.

Dreams seem to have a will of their own.

Dreams are illustrations from the book your soul is writing about you.

Even by common wisdom, there seem to be both people and objects in my dream that are outside myself, but clearly they were created in myself and are part of me, they are mental constructs in my own brain.

We control the content of our dreams.

I had some wonderful dreaming meetings. I can't tell you specifically what they've been in the recent months. In the past they've been verbal kinds of messages that he needed to give me. Now they're more dreams of his presence.

Sleep takes off the costume of circumstance, arms us with terrible freedom, so that every will rushes to deed.

In each of us there is another whom we do not know. He speaks to us in dreams and tells us how differently he sees us from the way we see ourselves.

But guilt is guilt. It doesn't go away. It can't be nullified. It can't even be fully understood, I'm certain - it's roots run too deep into private and long-standing karma. About the only thing that saves my neck when I get to feeling this way is that guilt is an imperfect form of knowledge. Just because it isn't perfect doesn't mean that it can't be used. The hard thing to do is to put it to practical use, before it gets around to paralyzing you.

You can't erase a dream, you can only wake me up.

It's not the gods But our own hearts We need to fear. The evil starts Against all odds Not there but here.
