Dream Analysis

During sleep, defenses are lowered and repressed feelings surface.

Latent content consists of hidden, symbolic, and unconscious motives, wishes, and fears.

Because they are so painful and threatening, the unconscious sexual and aggressive impulses that make up latent content are transformed into the more acceptable manifest content, which is the dream as it appears to the dreamer.

The process by which the latent content of a dream is transformed into the less threatening manifest content is called dream work.

The therapist’s task is to uncover disguised meanings by studying the symbols in the manifest content of the dream.
