'In this book I have brought forward reasons why an intensive study of the Nightmare and the beliefs held about it makes it hard to avoid the conclusion that religion is in its essence one of the means--hitherto perhaps the most valuable--of helping mankind to cope with the burden of guilt and fear everyone inherits in his unconscious from the deepest stirrings of mental life the primordial conflict over incest. Other workers, notably Freud and Reik, have confirmed and amplified this conclusion, which the world will one day have seriously to take into its reckoning.' --Preface
