wish fulfillment
Primarily a psychological term referring to the satisfaction of a desire or wish, often in the context of dreams or unconscious processes.
According to Freud, dreams are a form of wish fulfillment.
Compound of 願望 (がんぼう, 'wish, desire') and 充足 (じゅうそく, 'fulfillment, satisfaction'). The term is a direct translation of the psychoanalytic concept 'wish fulfillment' (Wunscherfüllung).
