Secondary elaboration
Manifest content is what the dream is said to be about by the dreamer- the story of the dreamer tells
Latent content is the meaning of underlying the dream if the symbol from the manifest content are translated by an analyst they can reveal unconscious thoughts
The dreamer may not remember the exact details of their dream, the dream might be different from the actual dream and what the dreamer said. The dream might not have the same symbol/meaning.

They might use secondary elaboration because using muddled ideas from dreamwork to build a whole story. The dreamer will add bits to the dream when telling someone what it is about to try to make the dream make sense
Page 57
This is because if everyone’s unconscious is a personal thing then they will have their own underlying meaning of symbols. However it helps to understand dream analysis if using a general example so one is given here.
Symbols are involved in dreams to help us understand the meaning
He believed that dreams should be analyzed seriously to help reveal what the person’s unconsciousness
Symbol analysis may be not reliable because it might mean something different from you dream

Explaining Freud using the phrases repression, conscious, desires, unconscious, Sexual issues, mental health, wishes
According to Freud, he was distressed about how little was being done for the mental health issue. He wanted to do better so he started to wonder about the mental health as opposed to the physical health. He then travelled to France and learnt about hypnotism . At the end, he realised that the mind was powerful and it could cause mental health problems.
According to Freud, repression means something being pushed into the unconscious by the conscious mind, though this is not deliberately done which means someone would not know the other side of you
