Whilst Lennon may have said that "I Am The Walrus" didn't mean a thing................it is bristling with Lennon symbolism and there are some people who can defend the arguments for specific meanings for some parts:
John loved Lewis Caroll and there are references to Alice through the looking glass in the song...........Catching John in the sequence of Magical Mystery tour where I am The Walrus is performed...John is clearly stoned..............thus implications can be drawn that this is a version of Johns thinkings through LSD................this elements of his persona can be identified...................Not alos the references to Lucy In the Sky ( See how they fly !!!)
There are Eggmen characters in the Wonderland Stories and they are representative of life's challenges and its journey, I Am The Walrus has paralles...............
So whilst there is no direct story, there are insights ibnto Lennon's state of mind and his thinking at the time it was written!

Nice to be able to go back to trust and friendship!!!!!!!!!
It's a mixed up sensation this being alive
Oh! it wears a man down into the ground
It's the strangest elation
I can't describe it
Oh it leaves a man weary
It makes a man frown..............................Chris Simpson ( "Mixed Up Sensations" 1975 Martin's Cafe )
