Real for a slightly unusual use of the word real where anything fictional is real?

Real as in how Jungian archetypes are "real", except these archetypes are able to act upon the world through their hosts, and an advanced enough idea can be self-referential and have the facilities for structured evolution and something which looks like intent.

These forms are non-biological in nature, but our psyche operates on them. Zodeaism can be seen as an extension of ideas such as Jungian archetypes and Friston's free energy principle.
