Question

according to freud, the true, underlying meaning of dreams, often disguised as symbols, help preserve sleep by preventing emotionally threatening material from waking a person. freud calls this material
lucid dreaming.
latent content.
paradoxical sleeping.
manifest content.

Explanation:

Sigmund Freud's dream theory distinguishes between two components of dreams: the manifest content (the literal, remembered plot of a dream) and the latent content (the hidden, symbolic, true underlying meaning that often contains repressed, emotionally threatening thoughts, disguised to avoid disrupting sleep). Lucid dreaming refers to being aware one is dreaming during sleep, and paradoxical sleeping is another term for REM sleep, which is unrelated to the described dream meaning.

Answer:

B. latent content.
