I haven’t left art—I moved the studio into perception. Through We The Dreamer, I’m running mind-first field tests that treat daily life as the lab and attention as the medium. If the stance shifts, does the scene change? This is personal and provisional; when it ripens, objects—art, even technology—will follow.

A Lutheran pastor’s note reopened a family thread—and a question: where does Teilhard de Chardin’s planetary mind meet a secular, eyes-open practice? This annotation maps his noosphere and “union that differentiates” onto We The Dreamer’s co-dreaming stance, translating altar-of-the-everyday into drills you can test in real rooms.

Discovery begins with a shift in perception — someone willing to see differently what others take as real. From Galileo turning his lens outward to Descartes turning it inward, to scientists now asking whether mind itself is the field where everything appears — every breakthrough starts the same way: by testing a new way of seeing.

Movements begin with a commitment. The Dreamer’s Pledge is not a doctrine but a prototype — a sketch of how secular awakening could be tested in daily life. Instead of dogma, it offers variables like presence and generosity as living experiments, inviting collective participation rather than private pursuit.

Could technology support awakening? From AI prompts to AR mirrors to VR lucid-dreams, tools might rehearse perception as interface, not fact. Yet technology remains scaffolding. The real experiment is always perception itself.

From Buddhism to Advaita Vedānta, Christian mysticism to A Course in Miracles, seekers have long compared awakening to waking from a dream. This Journal Annotation revisits those echoes, reminding us that innocence and lucidity were named long ago — and remain ours to test in the experiment of We The Dreamer.

What if awakening isn’t mystical but a shift in perception anyone can test? In a fractured, always-on world, We The Dreamer offers a secular experiment: simple practices, shared notes, no dogma. Don’t believe—test. Try one practice, notice what shifts, and see if awakening belongs in daily life.

Why does matter give rise to experience at all? The Dreamer Project treats this question less as puzzle to solve than as scaffolding for inquiry. What changes if we live as if consciousness is first?

Is awakening personal or collective? One consciousness or many? Free will or only the choice to remember we are Dreamer? This annotation frames the Dreamer Report as a studio of questions, where each log is not a conclusion but a vantage point to test together.

Perception is not decoration — it is the practice itself. Traditions from Vedānta to Zen teach that awakening begins with vision: from world as cause to mind as cause, from separation to interlinked selfhood. This annotation explores why perception-shifts matter most in a consciousness-first experiment.

Stoicism trains resilience; Idealism proposes that reality is mind-made. Together, they form a creative scaffold: Stoic Idealism. This annotation explores how the posture of virtue and the hypothesis of consciousness-first reality can be combined as a testable experiment, not a doctrine.

While many people may view spirituality as a serious and solemn pursuit, the truth is that laughter and playfulness can be powerful tools to expose the absurdity of ego's illusions, speak directly to the unconscious mind, and facilitate a deeper connection with the divine. From Jesus' use of hyperbole and puns in the Bible to the insights of nondualistic philosophies, the role of humor in spirituality.
