Manifest

Explanation:

According to psychoanalysis, the dreams are formed by two parts:

Manifest content: it refers to the actual content of the dream in a literal way. Latent content: It refers to the meaning behind the dream, it is what the dream is trying to tell to the dreamer since it is the subconscious talking to the dreamer.

In this example, Carlton is describing one of his dreams to his therapist. The events he remembers refer to the actual content of the dream in a literal way (he's not talking about the meaning behind it), therefore, this is the manifest content of his dream.
