Answer 1

Answer:

A. Freudian

Explanation:

The dream theory proposed by Sigmund Freud in 1900 is increasingly arousing interest in this world so incomprehensible, rich and full of feelings, that gives rise to many considerations, censorship and new approaches. What was once interpreted as symbols or premonitions is now seen as particulars of our unconscious, thanks to the Freudian perspective.

Freud's perspective on dream interpretation assumes that every dream has a meaning, though hidden, in the fulfillment of desires. The repressed desires in life are often related to our most primitive desires strongly vetoed by prevailing morals.

For this reason, we can conclude that the interpretation of the dream set out in the question is based on the Freudian perspective, because it argues that the patient's dreams originate from a repressed desire in his life that is to let go of the guilt of things that were not resolved during the childhood.
