Following four years of analyzing his and others' dreams, Freud published his first major work,[https://archive.org/details/interpretationof1913freu,The Interpretation of Dreams], in 1900. This book was based off of both a self-analysis of his own dream and his interpretations of what they may mean, as well as the idea that children feel sexual attraction toward their opposite-sex parents, and rivalry toward their same-sex parents, a theory now commonly known as the Oedipus Complex. This idea then laid the foundation for two of Freud's best-known claims — that the sex drive is the main catalyst of all human behavior, and that beliefs in paternalistic religious figures are merely projections of human fears and desires.<ref>"The interpretation of dreams" by Sigmund Freud.
