Wish fulfillment
Wish fulfillment is the satisfaction of a desire through an involuntary thought process. Wish fulfillment can occur in dreams or in daydreams, in the symptoms of neurosis, or in the hallucinations of psychosis. This satisfaction is often indirect and requires interpretation to recognize. Sigmund Freud coined the term (Wunscherfüllung) in 1900 in an early text titled The Interpretation of Dreams. According to Freud, wish fulfillment occurs when unconscious desires are repressed by the ego and superego. This repression often stems from guilt and taboos imposed by society. Dreams are attempts by the unconscious to resolve some repressed conflict.

Examples of wish fulfillment in a Sentence
We actually shot a movie called'Everybody Wants Some!!'together four years ago and on the first day we met, we vowed we’d make a smart, funny rom com and we ended up doing it, and I know that sounds like I made it up, but I didn’t and it feels really cool like a wish fulfillment that this movie got made and we did it together.
So, it's a kind of wish-fulfillment thing, you know, every time somebody's manspreading next to you on the subway or saying 'Cheer up, smile,' she punches them in the face.
