What is results and conclusion?Show answer
Freud argued the manifest content (the wolves in the tree) disguised a latent meaning linked to the patient's unconscious fears and early childhood experiences.

This illustrates dreams as the "royal road to the unconscious", supporting his theory in functions and theories of sleep.
