Detailed explanation-1: -Sigmund Freud’s theory of dreams suggests that dreams represent unconscious desires, thoughts, wish fulfillment, and motivations. 4 According to Freud, people are driven by repressed and unconscious longings, such as aggressive and sexual instincts.
Detailed explanation-2: -According to Freud, the latent content of a dream is the hidden psychological meaning of the dream. This content appears in disguise symbolically and contains things that are hidden from conscious awareness, often because it may be upsetting or traumatic.
Detailed explanation-3: -Repression. “Repression” is Freud’s term for the mechanism that turns our unacceptable desires away from us. Those unruly desires are repressed, made inaccessible to our thinking. The “unconscious” and later the “id” are the terms Freud uses for this realm of inaccessibility.
Detailed explanation-4: -Freud also believed that all of our basic instincts and urges were also contained in the unconscious mind. The life and death instincts, for example, were found in the unconscious. The life instincts, sometimes known as the sexual instincts, are those that are related to survival.
