Dreams as hyper-link

Richard Dawkins revolutionized evolutionary theory by shifting the "survival of the fittest" from organisms to DNA. This strikes me as one of may "postmodern turns." Vannevar Bush, hypertext, the hyperlink, depth at the surface: These people and ideas, appearing along with Einstein, Picasso and Darpa, move communication theory from the interpersonal to the wired, molecular, interconnected, and transparent.While my analogy may be wrong, the impression I hope to make is not. Psychoanalysis, especially in the age of Lacan, is still relevant for the study of cinema.

Perhaps a movie like Paprika makes the same move, from organism to DNA, from dream as personal or collective unconscious to dream as intercommunication with the Real, Imaginary and Symbolic, in its representation of the psychoanalysis of dreams.

 I'm a fan of James Hillman.  His view of the psyche as external (as well as internal), or better, as a semiotic "third text," an intersection of the real and the ideal (like the signifier and signified) expressed in the Thought of the Heart and the Soul of the World (another must read), supports my hypothesis.

This movie falls into my "must watch" animation file. It's an example of being able to express ideas because animation allows for expression generally too expensive for live action (one dimension of anime's genius, if I may personify, is its ability to express perception not in spite of, but because of the relative lack of industry funding.

For our class, COMM 403 MEDIA STUDIES, please read the review in the Mechadamia book series (which I highly recommend reading).

Is the unconscious, positing only its existence, personal (Freud), collective (Jung), linguistic (Lacan), and/or intercommunication (Paprika)?
