It's equally plausible that in using metaphor we echo/appreciate/make room for/extend the generative capacity/overflowingness of language.  I don't see that we have to be working against language to make it generative.  I wonder, too, if it's always or only the case that we dream alone -- aren't our dreams filled with images and soundings of other people, words, places, times, and things?  I don't think our choices are limited solely to group participation as the institutional legitimization of desire or independence.
