Louis Ferdinand Alfred Maury
Louis Ferdinand Alfred Maury (March 23, 1817 – February 11, 1892) was a French scholar and physician known for his early ideas on dream interpretation and the impact of external stimuli on dreams, predating Sigmund Freud.
Freud references Maury in "The Interpretation of Dreams," and Sebastian Faulks mentions him in "Human Traces."

One of the first to mention this was Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, in his book Moses and Monotheism.
Basing his arguments on his belief that the Exodus story was historical, Freud argued that Moses had been an Atenist priest who was forced to leave Egypt with his followers after Akhenaten's death.
Freud argued that Akhenaten was striving to promote monotheism, something that the biblical Moses was able to achieve.
