  • Summary

  • This episode explores Sigmund Freud’s theory that dreams reveal hidden desires and repressed emotions. Freud believed dreams have two levels:

    • Manifest Content – The literal dream storyline.

    • Latent Content – The hidden symbolic meaning.

    He suggested that common dream symbols, like falling teeth or flying, represent deeper psychological conflicts. However, his theories are criticized for being too subjective and lacking scientific evidence.

    Despite this, Freud’s ideas have deeply influenced psychology and culture. In the next episode, we’ll explore Carl Jung’s contrasting dream theories.
