The answer is unconscious wish fulfillment theory. Wish fulfillment is the gratification of a desire through an unintentional thought process. Wish fulfillment can happen in dreams or in daydreams, in the indications of neurosis, or in the hallucinations of psychosis. This gratification is frequently indirect and requires interpretation to identify. According to Freud, wish fulfillment happens when unconscious wishes are suppressed by the Ego and Superego. This repression frequently stems from guilt and taboos carry out by society. Dreams are attempts by the unconscious to resolve some repressed conflict.
