AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Dreams are wish fulfillments. Freud’s most well-known theory, wish fulfillment, is the idea that when wishes can’t or won’t be fulfilled in our waking lives, they are carried out in dreams. Even anxious or punishing dreams have their roots in wish fulfillment, according to Freud. Dreams are fleeting.

Detailed explanation-2: -Freud believed dreams represented a disguised fulfilment of a repressed wish. He believed that studying dreams provided the easiest road to understanding of the unconscious activities of the mind.

Detailed explanation-3: -Freud viewed the unconscious as a repository for socially unacceptable ideas, anxiety-producing wishes or desires, traumatic memories, and painful emotions put out of mind by the mechanism of repression.

Detailed explanation-4: -Freud applied these three systems to his structure of the personality, or psyche – the id, ego and superego. Here the id is regarded as entirely unconscious whilst the ego and superego have conscious, preconscious, and unconscious aspects.
