Tori awoke from an unusual dream and had the presence of mind to write down its theme. Later that day she asked her psychology p
rofessor about the real meaning of the images and symbols in her dream. In Freudian terms, Tori was interested in learning more about her dream's selective content. manifest content. hypnogogic content. latent content.
Latent content expresses the real meaning behind the imagery you see in dreams. It illustrates one's unconscious desires, drives and thoughts. In other words, latent content is the psychological meaning of your dreams. If you were to differentiate it with manifest content, the manifest content is more about what you see on the surface. The actual images that you see and not the meaning behind it. So again, the answer is latent content.
