Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term used to describe repressed urges in psychoanalytic theory is "latent content," whereas "manifest content" refers to the actual storyline or events of a dream. "Subliminal content" generally refers to perceptions or stimuli that are too low-level to be consciously noticed, and "overt content" simply refers to content that is readily apparent or noticed.
