ABSTRACT
It frequently happens during a session of psychoanalytic cure that something incongruous arises in the course of the analysand's speech, and goes on recurring in an insistent way. In the context of the imaginary relationship that had been established with that patient, such an expression will attract our attention, insofar as it seems rather strange, as if coming from elsewhere—from that "other scene" of which Freud speaks in The Interpretation of Dreams (1900a), the stage on which are unfurled the unconscious significations primarily linked with the drive representatives.
