Conflict and Dreams 1923 is a book written by W. H. R. Rivers, a British anthropologist and psychiatrist. The book is a collection of essays that explore the relationship between conflict and dreams, as well as the role of dreams in the human psyche.

The first part focuses on the psychology of conflict, exploring the ways in which war and other forms of violent conflict can impact the human psyche. Rivers examines the ways in which soldiers experience trauma and stress, and how these experiences can manifest in dreams. He also explores the ways in which dreams can be used as a tool for healing and recovery.The second part of the book focuses on the role of dreams in human culture, drawing on Rivers' studies of Melanesian societies. Rivers argues that dreams play a central role in many traditional cultures, serving as a means of communication with the spirit world and as a source of insight and guidance. He also explores the ways in which dreams can be used to understand cultural practices and beliefs.Overall, Conflict and Dreams 1923 is a fascinating exploration of the complex relationship between conflict, dreams, and human psychology.
