A creative inquiry into awakening to a mind-first reality — the premise that the world is a dream.
We The Dreamer opens another reality — lifting consciousness-first perspectives into view.

FIELD NOTES FROM A CREATIVE EXPERIMENT
What if consciousness comes first — one mind, dreaming this world together?
And We The Dreamer is the theory —
not the destination
It’s a reorientation with potential — a shift many traditions intuited; or perhaps the next human milestone we are already approaching.
L’Enclos hosts these reflections. This is where perception becomes the studio.
Welcome to The Dreamer Project.
We The Dreamer
A LIVING THEORY IN MOTION
“When conflict divides, We The Dreamer chooses again. When the world feels against you, We The Dreamer remembers. When a friend suffers, We The Dreamer recognizes. When the news screams of wrongs, We The Dreamer releases.
We The Dreamer is a living theory in motion — a field test of oneness: what if consciousness comes first, one mind dreaming this world? We may never know for sure — but trying can already open a kinder reality of hope, peace, and undivided awareness.
We live in a world haunted by separation. Choose The Dreamer in yourself and in every relationship. When the moment calls, choose the creative experiment — and see if We The Dreamer can open another reality. It did for me, and the test continues.”
— Martin Lenclos, initiator of The Dreamer Project
What is The Dreamer?
THE SHARED IDENTITY
In exploring the possibility of a consciousness-first awakening, one stumbles on a symbol — a figure of unicity and wonder. A mind poised between captive and free, asleep yet lucid. The One who knows itself as the Dreamer.
The Dreamer is you.
The Dreamer is me.
The Dreamer is us.
In that sense, We are The Dreamer.Not a role, not a personality, not the story you’ve been living — but something prior to all of it.
Something untouched by the shifting forms and definitions we inherit.What if that’s what we really are — a state of being untouched since before the first labels and boundaries?
THE ONENESS BEHIND THE DREAM
Imagine a vantage point beyond the self — not inside the world, but from which the world appears.
From here, there aren’t truly “others,” or separate things, or fixed places, there is just The Dreamer.
Only One Mind, projecting as many — so convincingly, and just long enough, to explore what self-concept is like.
If that’s true, awakening to the consciousness of Oneness is less about becoming something new, and more about parting the veil we call “reality” so The Dreamer can begin to shine through.
THE MYSTERY BEYOND KNOWING
The Dreamer cannot be pinned down.
Not physical, not spiritual.
Not three-dimensional, not multidimensional.
Not knowable, not unknowable.It is the essence of consciousness itself — the living and the unlived, the multitude and the undifferentiated, the one and the whole.
Every idea, story, or framework we build eventually dissolves here.
Every label falls away.
What remains is not an answer, but the openness of wonder.The Dreamer is the mystery in which even awakening happens.
Neither a thing to grasp, nor a teaching to master — only the quiet invitation to let reality reveal itself differently.Learn more about We The Dreamer →
PRACTICE
It’s All Piece of Mind
A quiet exercise in perception—toward oneness and peace
One of many creative practices in the ongoing exploration of consciousness-first perception, this simple exercise uses the phrase “It’s all piece of mind” to explore the possibility that all things arise within one mind.

How do art and design function as tools of inquiry when ancient philosophical insights and modern scientific discoveries intersect—revealing consciousness as fundamental to reality?
ART & DEVICES
Artworks as Signposts for Nondual Inquiry
L'Enclos develops practice-based research and experiential design to explore perception, identity, and consciousness. Some works function as 'Self-Questioning Devices'—interactive tools for disrupting habitual thought patterns, sparking self-inquiry, and inviting deeper awareness. Others serve as visual markers, bridging insights from nondual philosophy, consciousness studies, and cognitive science to examine how perception shapes reality. These works do not seek to represent truth but to engage viewers in direct inquiry—reminding us that our perception of the world is shaped by unseen assumptions and may not fully capture its deeper essence.

ABOUT L’ENCLOS
L’Enclos is a consciousness-first inquiry bridging creative design with direct exploration of reality as mind-made. Through art, philosophy, and structured creative experiments, it explores how perception shifts can reduce suffering and spark awakening. Independent and secular, it invites anyone to test the unified awareness behind the dream of separation.
This blog post delves into the origins of 'Design for Nothing,' a practice that integrates elements of Advaita Vedanta, Zen Buddhism, Taoism, and 'A Course in Miracles' to loosen ego’s grip and glimpse the possibility of a shared field of mind. Discover the story behind the choice of the term "design" and how it shapes the philosophy. Learn how to create an inner space for 'nothing' and experience profound shifts in perception.
