Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The therapist is interpreting the hidden or symbolic meanings behind Tony's dream, which is the latent content. The manifest content refers to the actual events and images in the dream, which in this case, is Tony being chased by she-wolves into a mountain cave. The memory content refers to actual memories being processed during dreaming, and activation synthesis theory suggests that dreams are a result of random brain activity. None of these options explain the interpretation of Tony's dream in terms of his unconscious fear of women.
