Samenvatting:

In Dream Psychology, Freud describes several components of the dream. The most significant is the dream-work. Freud’s conception of the dream-work is rooted in the unconscious. A person's unconscious desires will manifest themselves and shape their behavior while awake, and will influence the content of the dream while asleep. There are two layers of the dream: manifest content refers to the aspects of the dream which are remembered on waking, while latent content are the parts of the dream which contain the repressed wishes. Dream analysis aims to unpack the latent content through an understanding of the manifest content.
