PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -Freud believed that the content of dreams is related to wish fulfillment and suggested that dreams have two types of content: manifest content and latent content. The manifest content is the actual literal subject matter of the dream while the latent content is the underlying meaning of these symbols.

Detailed explanation-2: -In manifest content analysis, context is derived from the visible and literal meaning of the words-taken at face value. In latent content analysis, you apply a deeper, interpretive analysis that seeks to infer underlying meaning from the words or phrases you choose to analyze.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -According to the psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud, the manifest content of a dream includes the actual images, thoughts, and content contained within the dream. 1 The manifest content is the elements of the dream that you remember upon awakening.
