Hey gus, im wondering if any one of you could lend a hand.

Is there evidence of an imaginative journey as a LEARNING PROCESS in kubla khan?

and

is there any evidence of SUPERNATURAL THEMES in it?

As a learning process - I suppose you could talk about the possible metaphorical applications of the poem as a way of gaining understanding and knowledge by participating in the imaginative journey that it represents. (The responder LEARNING by participating imaginatively in the text, the way the composer would have intended.)
And the supernatural themes- Kubla Khan presents a metaphysical imaginative experience. "...as e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted by woman wailing for her daemon lover..." (Not sure about the correctness of that quotation.)
It describes such a place as does not physically exist, and in this way represents a "supernatural" journey.
