"…writing is one of the closet ways to get a detailed look at our dreams…stories, poetry, and songs come from the subconscious…they show the author's inner thoughts and let the reader inside her or his inner soul." Jonathan Malory, Literature inspired by dreams Bram Stoker's Dracula, like many literary works are constantly analyzed by their metaphoric content. Although it is true that some literature is metaphorically intentional, there are many instances where a story is simply a story. Dracula can and should be analyzed through the psychobiographical perspective in which the question of what unconscious elements of the text express the fantasies of the author is raised. The so-called metaphoric content is none other than a reflection of the author's inner psyche in which the neurotic author uses literature as a form of sublimation (Freud, 150).
According to Sigmund Freud, as children grow up pleasure and sexual impulses shifts from the mouth to the anus and gradually shifts to the genitals. Freud later came to the conclusion that human passes through five stages of psychosexual development. Moreover, Erik Erikson amended Sigmund Freud’s theory because he assumed Freud misjudged some areas of human development. Erikson stated that human beings develop in psychosocial stages. The most important mode of motivation for human behavior is sexual in nature, According to Freud’s theory, on the other hand Erikson’s theory depicts that human motivation is influenced by human’s interaction with other people and social experiences.

The overall arching idea that arises from Civilization and its Discontents is how the human species, plagued with its instinctual demands for sex and destruction, are put into check and balanced out with the rules and laws of society for the purpose of keeping such instincts into safe moderation. This societal super-ego is the main topic of discussion that I will attempt to embark on in describing Freud’s most widely read book. The super-ego is essentially the conscience that keeps the ego in check. It keeps the ego in check by monitoring what the ego does and what actions it takes. In Civilization and Its Discontents, Freud relates the super-ego to the primal father that is killed by his two sons.

The psychodynamic perspective is based on the work of Sigmund Freud. He created both a theory to explain personality and mental disorders and the form of therapy known as psychoanalysis. The psychodynamic approach assumes that all behaviour and mental processes reflect constant and unconscious struggles within person. These usually involve conflicts between our need to satisfy basic biological instincts, for example, for food, sex or aggression, and the restrictions imposed by society. Not all those who take a Psychodynamic approach accept all of Freud's original ideas, but most would view normal or problematic behavior as the result of a failure to resolve conflicts adequately.

Adlerian theory suggests that a person is influenced by his or her social urges and conscious thought.
