Fictional...in a sense

When we talked today about Ryan's discussion of belief versus make-believe within Avatars of Story, the concept of the "Megaverse" was brought up, the concept of parallel (perhaps infinite parallel) universes existing alongside our own. I also brought up an anecdotal experience concerning fiction, made by a clairvoyant (a guest speaker in an Honors Magick and Witchcraft course). While her beliefs are a bit difficult to wrap one's head around, I consider them incredibly interesting once deciphered.
This clairvoyant expressed a personal belief in the concept of the Megaverse, and stated a theory that the soul is tied to the consciousness. Basically, when one's consciousness creates something imaginative, whether it be a perception of a scene in a story, the playing-out of a potential outcome of an uncertain situation, or merely a dream, the consciousness has traveled there to experience it. In essence, when "your mind wanders", it LITERALLY wanders.
The power of one's imagination, in this sense, has such abilities at its disposal so as to literally create parallel dimensions in which these fictional or potential events actually DO occur, for if they did not exist, the consciousness could not travel there to witness them firsthand.
Were we to take this theory as fact, then by association, everything fictional, paradoxically, is REAL. Almost like an antithesis of panfictionality, maybe (if I understand the term)?
Following Ryan's statement concerning the idea of make-believe (there is an unspoken contract between the author of the fiction and the reader in which, while the author entertains, the reader suspends disbelief), and combining it with the theory previously discussed, in essence the contract is an agreement permitting the author to transport the reader's consciousness to a parallel dimension of the author's creation. Or, at least, the reader's version of the author's created dimension (which would be two separate dimensions altogether, since no two people have exactly the same vision).
In any case, I've rambled long enough. Hope this was an interesting read?
