Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dream researchers would likely agree that the woman only remembers the manifest content of her dream, which includes the surface-level details such as the boat ride, heat, and hunger for bananas. It is not necessarily assumed that all dreams have hidden meanings, and there is no indication in this scenario that the dream was a lucid dream (in which the dreamer is aware they are dreaming and can control the dream). Additionally, while the dream could potentially have latent content (hidden or symbolic meanings), there is no information given to support or refute this possibility.
