Thank you for this site.
I found this site because I wanted to gain information about Carl Gustav Jung and how his works are connected with Star Wars. I became interested in the works of Freud and Jung because I read that some of my favourite computergames , Xenogears and Xenosaga were heavily influenced by the works of them. (E.g. in Xenogears , the protagonist has a second , animal like personality called the Id. The mechs in Xenogears need the so called Anima to evolve into a stronger form. Some Characters are also based on Archetypes.) (Xenogears and Xenosaga are also heavily influenced by other stories like Star Wars , Gundam, 2001 A Space Odyssey, Solaris, Childhoods End , Soilent Green. Many people (I too.) think that Xenogears was also heavily influenced by Neon Genesis Evangelion, but the creators of Xenogears denied this. (A comparison of Xenogears and Evangelion can be found at www.xgam.org/xenogears/articles/index.php?article=eva-xeno) ) During my research , I learned about Joseph Campbell and that Star Wars was also somehow connected with the works of Campbell and Jung. Because I wanted to know more about this , I found this site. My fanfictions are inspired by many sources like Neon Genesis Evangelion,.Xenogears, 2001 A Space Odyssey, Blade Runner, Dune , Foundation, Matrix, Alien,Gundam, Ghost in the Shell, X- Files , Valis, Ancient greek myth, history,conspiracy theories and many other things. I even included aspects of books we read at school I didn't like, like Emilia Galotti. I also read science magazines and included some interesting things I learned from them , like the Savant Syndrome. I also included aspect from the thing you called "personal myth".(E.g. one Character was interested in informatics since she was 10 years old, like myself.) I was also influenced by some art of the Techno music scene and computer history and the geek phenomenon. (E.g. in my actual story , the characters visit Akihabara.) I also tried to include aspects of my interest in computer technology into my story.
Because of the philosophical texts I read for my stories , I even got a better mark in philosophy at school. (Sometimes , I got an A mark.)
I couldn't use all of the things mentioned in the storytelling lessons E.g. I could not use things from my dreams , because I mostly dream boring things or things which are totally crazy.
