I think you're on to something.
Research on hypnosis shows that the unconscious doesn't make a clear distinction between outward actual experiences and those which are imagined. So, the forgiveness you may offer to a fictional entity represents genuine emotion on your part, even if the object of it is a contrivance. Also, Ra encourages working with catalyst using one's imagination and, let's face it, after you've had an experience and are reviewing it to learn from it, you're basically dealing with the internal movie of it at that point.
Being able to make good use of the fictional catalyst depends upon one's ability summon up and work productively with deep emotion. But sometimes the summoning is not so difficult, like when a particular film or what-have-you moves you deeply and uncovers highly charged emotions.
