"The unconscious at work in dreams employs metonymy and metaphor, and the analyzed in talking about his dreams employs virtually all of rhetoric’s figures and tropes. To the analyst, nothing is ever “just a figure of speech.” The analyst’s mode of reading attends to both what is presented and what is not presented, to both speech and writing, to both what is enunciated and what is avoided. In essence, it reads all speech as a compromise formation, as produced by competing forces."
