Is it true that according to freud when several people objects or events are combined into a single dream image the dream process of secondary elaboration has taken place?

No. Secondary elaboration refers to adding to the details of the manifest dream, that is "elaborating" on that dream when awake and remembering the dream. The dreamer's conscious mind might attempt to fill in the gaps of the remembered dream, or add subtle interpretations that were not evident in the actual dream. For example, when remembering a dream of an older man in a uniform sitting on a sidewalk, the dreamer might describe "a homeless veteran." That is secondary elaboration. Freud believed that secondary elaboration could distort or disguise the true latent meaning of the dream.

Personally, no I dream in color and everyone I have asked claims to dream in color as well but you can follow the related link to read both sides of the debate. Women dream in color and men dream in black and white. If ask one, a man will most likely say they dream in color because it is difficult to notice.

What is latent content?

According to Sigmund Freud's dream theory, the latent content is the underlying, true meaning of the dream that the manifest content (the images experienced in the dream) symbolize and point toward. For example, the dreamer might be standing naked in front of a crowded courtroom. That is the manifest content. When interpreted, the underlying meaning is that the dreamer feels exposed, as if every fault and imperfection is being judged and condemned. That is the latent content of the dream.


The manifest content of a dream is?

The question refers to Freud's theory of dreams. The manifest content is the surface or visible meaning while the latent content would be the secret or hidden meaning. For example, in a dream about threading a needle, the manifest content would be sewing, perhaps reflecting the dreamer's work as a tailor. The latent content (particularly for Freud) would be a sexual urge with the thread and eye of the needle representing male and female sex organs.

What does it mean when you dream of dead fishes?

That depends on the severity and how often you dream them. In this case the dead fishes would be known as Latent Dream Content or the things we don't understand about a dream that often have some deeper meaning. The mob used dead fish to convey the sense that someone was about to be killed and thrown into the ocean hence the saying "Sleeping with the fishes". Your dreams probably mean nothing serious...unless of course you disrespected the mob in some way.
