It restores Freud's original argument unmodified by revisions he made following the book's critical reception which included under the influence of his associate Wilhelm Stekel the theory of dream symbolism. Reading the first edition reveals Freud's original emphasis on the use of words in dreams & on the difficulty of deciphering them & Joyce Crick captures with far greater immediacy & accuracy than previous translations by Strachey's Freud's emphasis & terminology.
