Question

Cooper had a dream that he fell in the hallway, broke his leg, and needs help to carry his books from class to class. According to Freud, what is the manifest content in this dream?

Cooper feels overwhelmed by his school schedule.

Cooper had an accident at school.

Cooper is uncomfortable asking for help.

Cooper is enjoying his school year.

Cooper has been arguing with his best friend.


I looked at other answers but they don't make sense, and they are all different. If anyone can help it will be appreciated. If you could properly explain why which ever answer is correct, that will be even better

Answer 1

answ: copper had an accident at school

According to Freud the manifest content of a dream is what literally happened in the dream, whereas latent content is what the underlying meaning of the dream is. Since the dream is about him breaking his leg the answer would be #2.
