Question

Freud’s theory of dream includes all except:

• A. Displacement
• B. Condensation
• C. Symbolisation
• D. Correlation

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Freud's theory of dreams encompasses several mechanisms by which the unconscious mind processes and transforms dream content. These mechanisms include:

• Displacement: This refers to the process where emotional significance is transferred from an important object to a less significant one, altering the focus of the dream content.
• Condensation: This involves the merging of multiple ideas or images into a single concept in a dream, compressing complex thoughts into a simpler form.
• Symbolisation: This mechanism converts thoughts and impulses into symbolic representations to express dreams in a disguised format.

The correct answer is Correlation, which is not part of Freud's theory of dreams. Correlation relates more to statistical or logical relationships between variables, not a mechanism described in Freud's dream theory.
