Question

If you dream about your teeth falling out and your friend tells you it is really about anxiety over your new job, her interpretation represents the ________ content of your dream.

Answer 1

Latent

Step-by-step explanation:

If a friend is telling you what your dream may mean she is referring to the latent content rather than the actual content. This means that the falling out of your teeth in the dream may have an underlying meaning. The psychoanalytic theory of Sigmund Freud was based on the deeper meaning of dreams. In essence, the subconscious is seeking for an avenue to express itself but can only do so through the representation of material or everyday representations by metaphors and images that we understand.

Answer 2

Latent

Step-by-step explanation:

Latent content of dream is the "disguised" meaning of dreams (what you really want) and what the unconscious is trying to tell us often because it may be upsetting or traumatic.

It also refers to the hidden psychological meaning of the dream.
