Disturbing a nation,
By
This review is from: The Third Reich of dreams: The nightmares of a nation, 1933-1939 (Paperback)
These are the records of a psychoanalyst who kept a diary of patient dreams in Germany during the rise of the Third Reich. The book traces the ways in which the rising tide of Fascism infected the unconscious lives of ordinary Germans, skewing their dreams towards increasingly brutal and nightmarish reflections of the pathology of Nazism. A profound and disturbing book.

A book you won't forget,
By
This review is from: The Third Reich of dreams: The nightmares of a nation, 1933-1939 (Paperback)
A slim, elegant collection of dreams, compiled by journalist Charlotte Beradt and smuggled out of Germany during the 1930s in code. Published in the 1960s with a terrific afterward by Bruno Bettleheim (I think he's a bit hard on her though--she wasn't a psychologist), it's bizarre that this book has received so little attention. Somebody needs to do a cheap paperback edition & get it out in the world. These dreams show--with haunting resonance--how people are remade from the inside out by totalitarian regimes.
