Intriguing connection indeed. Yes, the I-function/story teller is not always well connected to but is always fully derived from the unconscious (and the material/body).

And an interesting subtlety. Scotomas don't in fact typically "fill one with horror." In fact, as with the anognosias, one is typically unaware of the absence of something (as with the blindspots, scotomas that we all have). What disappears disappears, "taking its 'place'" with it. One only notices the absence if something particular calls one's attention to it, ie if there is a mismatch between a story and .... some new information? I remember becoming aware of a migraine hemianopsia because the number stamped on my gym locker seemed wrong ("26" instead of "1026" because of a left hemianopsia). The input from my unconscious, and the resulting primary story was inconsistent with my derived story?
