Detailed explanation-1: -The manifest content is the actual literal subject matter of the dream while the latent content is the underlying meaning of these symbols. To Freud and other psychoanalysts, the latent content of a dream mattered much more than the literal, manifest content. Freud believed that the mind was like an iceberg.
Detailed explanation-2: -The manifest content is the actual dream content remembered the following day. The latent content of dreams pertains to unconscious wants, fears, or desires. The latent content definition is that of an unconscious meaning behind a dream. It could represent repressed thoughts such as anger, guilt, trauma, or shame.
Detailed explanation-3: -Definition: Condensation. CONDENSATION: Condensation is one of the methods by which the repressed returns in hidden ways (see Freud Module III on repression). For example, in dreams multiple dream-thoughts are often combined and amalgamated into a single element of the manifest dream (e.g. symbols).
Detailed explanation-4: -Freud’s theory described dreams as having both latent and manifest content.
