Dr. Herbert Silberer

About the Author

Herbert Silberer (1882-1923) was a Viennese psychoanalyst, who committed suicide after being expelled from Freud’s circle. His writings on mysticism and symbols influenced Carl Jung. He studied and wrote about the hypnagogic state—between waking and sleeping—which he thought to be representative of the individual’s state of mind. His books include The Hidden Symbolism of Alchemy and the Occult Arts and Der Traum (The Dream).
