Remez has always been an integral part of understanding Torah. The Torah is understood on all four levels: Pshat, Remez, Drash and Sod. The Talmud mentions it and there is a very famous story that is recounted about Rabbi Akiva, Elisha ben Avuyah, Ben Azai and Ben Zomah who all learned the Torah using these four different interpretations.
