The '[[formations ]]' of the [[unconscious]]' are those phenomena in which the [[law]]s of the [[unconscious]] are most clearly visible.
The [[joke]], the [[dream]], the [[symptom]], and the [[lapsus]] ('[[parapraxis]]').
The fundamental mechanisms involved in the formations of the [[unconscious]] were referred to by [[Freud]] as the 'laws of the unconscious', [[condensation]] and [[displacement]], which [[Lacan]] redefines as [[metaphor]] and [[metonymy]].
