I have some doubts about Paprika , i am not sure I fully understood certain parts

Paprika seems aware and intentional , was it lucid dreaming for her while others are lost or stuck or directionless in the dream ?

1. When Dr. Chiba trespassed into Himuros flat, was seeing Himuros childhood photo the key that triggered her awakening state to dream about Himuro? Did they experience collective unconsciousness? Do we really have shared dreams ?

2. Did Dr.Chiba try to jump out of the balcony because she was in dreaming  and lost the boundary between mind and body?

Bringing chief to consciousness :

  1.Does breaking him like a balloon in his dream help relax his frozen state caused by fear, allowing him to return to consciousness? And its done by paprika ( femininity ) ? Does that shows integration of anima to chief ?

  2. Was Paprika trying to bring femininity into the detectives mind so he could be more gentle with himself?

Healing Detective konakawa :

 1. As paprika said could anonymous chatting be seen as a form of collective dreaming, where people project parts of their unconscious selves (  their Shadow, repressive thoughts )  into shared virtual space ?  It looks like a reddit inbox ( I mean in the reality point of view ) it feels like we are both awakened and dreaming while using apps where we can be ourself , do you agree ?

 2. Is returning to dreams a coping mechanism when we are overwhelmed by fear since dreams offer more freedom and is that a healthy form of escape? Because Detective and chief enters to dream or unconscious state when they felt so powerless and couldn't face the reality Because they lack the emotional softness ( femininity) ?

3. Active imagination helps kokakawa to face who is , his repressed thoughts and accept who he is and stop sabotaging ( shooting ) himself , the other him was  the self sabotaging inner critic of himself ?

Understanding osanai :

1.Why are butterflies shown around Osanai in dream ? Is it just to identify him in dreams, especially because he impersonates Himuro in the dream world?
