Dreams and Freedom of the Will
dreams—Freud held, are determined by hidden causes in the person’s mind, and so they reveal in covert form what would otherwise not be known at all.
This suggests the view that freedom of the will is, if not completely an illusion, certainly more tightly circumscribed than is commonly believed, for it follows from this that whenever we make a choice we are governed by hidden mental processes of which we are unaware and over which we have no control.
Freud pointed out (what the dream appeared to be about on the surface) and its latent content (the unconscious, repressed desires or wishes which are its real object). The correct interpretation of the dream
