The article is based on the hypothesis that suggestion - abandoned as a technique since the beginning of psychoanalysis - once understood as a process inherent of psychic functioning, remains active in transference. It relates suggestion, symptom and dream in order to show that, since the beginning of Freud's work, the permanence of suggestion in transference is linked to something that escapes the analyst's control. Freud's papers, from his first publications to Dora, are analyzed.
