Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Freud proposed that we dream
A
for wish fulfillment and to deal with highly disturbing desires
B
because we try to interpret the random brain activity generated during sleep
C
because we need to restore the supply of brain neurotransmitters
D
in order to solve the problems that arose during the day
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -According to Freud, wish fulfillment occurs when unconscious desires are repressed by the ego and superego. This repression often stems from guilt and taboos imposed by society. Dreams are attempts by the unconscious to resolve some repressed conflict.

Detailed explanation-2: -Desire and unconscious go hand in hand for Freud. The Freudian notion of desire is early linked to the effort toward motility and the difference between what is found and what is sought: negativity and lack that drive the indestructible pursuit of desire. Unconscious desire is then the core of our being.

Detailed explanation-3: -Wish-fulfillment is a psychoanalytic concept that applies to situations in which some agent with a frustrated desire represents the world as he would like it to be-rather than as it actually is-and in this manner pacifies the desire.
