Answer 1

Answer:

c. latent

Explanation:

Freud was the founder of psychoanalysis and he came out with a theory about dreams.

According to him, dreams have two main components:

• The manifest content of the dream refers to the literal content of the dream.
• The latent component of the dream refers to the hidden meaning of the dream, it is what our unconscious is trying to tell us and we can access it through analysis or therapy.

In this example, Marlowe has a dream where his teeth fall out. He finds out losing teeth is usually dream symbolism for anxiety. We can see that Marlowe is focusing on the meaning of his dream and therefore on the the latent component of it.
