mind/space/time/filmic narrative

I've been listening to a recording of a lecture entitled 'Outside/In: architecture, psychoanalysis and spaces in-between' at the Freud Museum.
In a therapeutic environment, we can think of the mind relating to physical space using a filmic metaphor: the mind projects outward memory, dreams (past), imagination (present) and hopes (future); there has to be a receptor of this projection, a screen, that enables these outward manifestations to materialize and to be re-viewed by the projector, the mind. but because the contents of the mind have been allowed to externalize, when they are bounced back they are received with a different perception. hence time, and space, enable transformation and healing. also, much like current films, the narrative of the projection of the mind is not necessarily linear: past, present and future are projected not necessarily in a sequential manner.
