He dreamt about this far away war land where the aliens were orange and walked around with swords. His friend laughed! According to Freud, the _____ content of the dream are the orange aliens with swords and the _____ content is the hidden, unconscious meaning of the dream.

Answer 1

Answer:

A) Manifest.

B) Latent.

Explanation:

There are, according to Freud and roughly explained, two levels in every dream. The Manifest, that which you see or remember (could be explained as the literal meaning; aliens with swords) and the latent, the true meaning of the dream.

For example, aliens with swords could mean that Juan feels threatened by new coworkers (given that he was on his way to work). The manifest, swords and aliens, and the latent: Swords mean a threat, agression, the aliens something you don't know, exterior, etc.
