He viewed human beings as soulless creatures that are driven by primal urges within the inner depths of the human mind. Therefore, any maladaptive behavior in that person’s nature can be traced back to the very beginning of his or her life. While this understanding seems sound, a major flaw is that it is not falsifiable (this means his theory could not be scientifically proven false) and it was highly criticized. However, this theory made breakthroughs in the human understanding of dreams and pushed for the study of dream interpretation on a neurological basis. Even today, it is still is a Freudian goal that one day everything psychologically based will be explained neurologically and our understanding of humans will
