ABSTRACT
Media imagery is similar to dreams in format, content, and nonconscious memory processing. Because of the intuitive aspects of media communication, the more discursive, rationally biased instruments that we have used to understand media communication, such as semiotics and the Six Perspectives, can never completely access the deeper meanings and influences of mediated imagery. A classic process of dream interpretation, however, can be useful to understand media images from an intuitive perspective.
