"I definitely agree that your unconscious is "scripting your texts for you," but I don't think it means death of the individual; rather, it's an understanding of how limited our freedom of action is. And the little freedom we do have is important... (previous response)
malraux writes, "the organized significance of art is stronger than all the multiplicity of the world;... that significance alone enables man to conquer chaos and to master destiny." i think this is what you're trying to grasp and that is perfectly fine. there are others who think differently i.e. those with strong post modernist influences. similarly, it reminds me of the process of exegesis in reading mainly christian scripture. an exegetical reading can sometime employ marxism, even structuralism at times, yet ignore the logical ends of using such theories. theory obliterates personal meaning if we seek to let it inform our lives and not let our lives inform theory. or maybe vice versa! confusing subject, to what extent or boundary can we "let" anything truly inform our experience. i think it is a matter of choice, believing or not believing, or simply turning a blind eye.
