Freud saw dreams as an expression of unconscious fears, needs and desires. Some of these motivations are seen as being too intolerable to the individual, and therefore are expressed in symbolic form.
Latent content is viewed as the symbolic unconscious component.
Manifest content is the way in which the latent content is disguised into a more acceptable form to the dreamer.It is therefore the actual dream as it is experienced.
