Answer 1

Answer:

You dream about a monster chasing you and you realize later that the monster symbolizes the research paper that you have due in one of your classes. According to Freud, this interpretation of your dream is called the latent content.

Explanation:

The latent content in the interpretation of dreams is considered a central part of the unconscious since it is formed of unconscious desires and impulses that, if directly expressed, would be threatening, that is, the dream is the fulfillment (disguised or symbolized) of a suffocated or repressed desire. The latent content is the true experience or wishes that motivates our dreams.
