One method that Freud used to analyze the unconscious mind was through interpreting manifest and latent contents of dreams.
Manifest is readily perceived by the eye or the understanding; evident;obvious; apparent;plain.
Latent is present but not visible, apparent, or actualized; existing as potential.
The clip below shows a dream that Rachel had about Joey.
Rachel's Dream About Joey
I believe that Freud would look at this dream and use it to analyze Rachel's unconscious mind. He would probably say that Rachel is in love with Joey based on this dream, The manifest would be that she wants to kiss him because she wanted to in her dream. The latent content would be that Rachel is in love with Joey. It's not obvious in the scene of the dream but maybe thats what's driving her passion to kiss him.
The other idea is that Rachel is in love and wants to kiss Joey's soap character. Rachel Watching Joey's Scene this clip shows what she did that day and what could have lead her to the dream. Either watching the scene made her attracted to Joey's character or to Joey himself. We find out later in the series that it is Joey she's attracted to.
