[Marita Mazanishvili · Rating 3 out of 5]

Kafka's dreams as a reflection of the timeless unconscious in some sense reveal more than his autobiography. As a reader of Kafka once you "read" his dreams, you can see the basic motives of his writings more clearly. Though this book is not a"psychoanalysis-related" paper, its an interesting way to explore in Kafka's "thinking mind" when he was sleeping. But those who love Kafka, with a view of the human condition that is bound to no definite place or time - may stay a little bit dissatisfied with the analysis and realizations part.
