extended metaphor - quotes and descriptions to inspire creative writing

The extended metaphor is part of the language of the dream and as such can speak in a unifying manner to all parts of the brain.

The extended metaphor holds a chance to speak in deep ways to the subconscious and conscious brain simultaneously, and therein exists its power to effect real change.

The languages below spoken language are metaphor, imagery, visual puns, emotion and music - thus the extended metaphor has the ability (when done well) to unite the forms of brain communication and bring a stronger response.
