Any good books that will teach me about symbolism? I want to become one of those schizo's that over-analyzes movies and games.

just take some acid and look around at the culture you've been forced to accepted. thing is you don't have to. shrooms and acid make it easy. you gain they live glasses to what the NWO is pushing.
This.
I recommend Jung as well, at least to get a grasp intellectually on the importance of symbolism. But the thing is, it won't necessarily teach you to analyze symbolism. It's not like a language you can learn; short of buying one of those big 'Book of Symbols' and committing every single one to memory, but even that will only teach you to interpret specific symbols.
In reality, it's a much more intuitive process than an intellectual one. It's basically pattern recognition. To understand symbolism effectively, you need to see the interconnectedness of things and how everything correlates to everything else. You need to be able to draw connections where others don't see them. Psychedelics, like you say aren't necessary, but it can be the push some people need to see things that way.
Just read myths and ancient legends. Then you can start making your own connections between things.
Take drugs
I personally used marijuana repeatedly. Hallucinogenics would probably accelerate the process faster.
just make stuff up
