The analyst tells Teu that this dream is a reference to his recent career struggles where he feels that his attempts to climb the ladder at his company are continually being thwarted by events outside of his control. However, there is no way to know whether this interpretation is correct or not. Which concept of critical thinking is this most problematic for?.
(A) manifest
