This dream theory states that the purpose of dreaming is to express unconscious wishes and urges
A) problem solving
B) cognitive
C) psychoanalytic
D) activation-synthesis
Answer: C
Rationale: The psychoanalytic approach views dreams as an unconscious expression of wish fulfillment, and that all humans are motivated by primal urges, with sex and aggression being the most dominant. Because these urges are impractical most of the time, not to mention they are often considered immoral, we learn ways of keeping these urges suppressed and outside of our conscious awareness. However, as we sleep we lose the power to suppress our urges and these drives begin to create all kinds of visions
