MIND-FIRST PRACTICES

The Dreamer Practice Library

This library is where new tools are drafted — perception cues and design interventions for testing the We The Dreamer living theory in daily life.

Field Lab Overview

From mind-first tools to real-life field tests.

A young man dives in the ocean — representing the consciousness-first experiment and delving in consciousness itself.

Daily Life as Exploratorium

The Dreamer Project starts from a simple premise: what if consciousness is the source and the world its dream-like appearance? This library offers tools before they’re tests for that experiment: mind-first practices and perception cues. With them, daily life becomes an exploratorium of perception for We The Dreamer.

From Workshop to Record

Each practice is provisional — created to open perception, not to prove anything, yet. They’re revised over time by Martin Lenclos. Some may later migrate into the Dreamer Project’s Creative Experiment, where experiences will eventually be logged and shared. In that way, the library is the workshop, and the experiment is the record.

Reference → Action Catalogue

The practices draw from the Dreamer Action Catalogue, and the catalogue grows through practice. A living index of We The Dreamer perception cues, organized by theme — Reality & Cause, Identity, Relationship, Body, Emotion, Purpose, Meta — it serves as a reference point for the shifts we’re exploring.

Start with We The Dreamer Core Practices — the central experiments behind every test.

Experimental Notice

These practices are part of an open, secular philosophical inquiry into perception. They are not medical or psychological prescriptions, nor a substitute for spiritual exploration. Please engage mindfully and step back if they feel destabilizing.*

Practice Principles

Core principles ∞ turn into testable perception shifts.

Practice Pathways

Three for testing the consciousness-first premise.

  • Illustration for a Mind-First Creative Practice

    1. Experiments in Perception.

    Reframes: Field test experiments for seeing differently.

    If We The Dreamer proposes that one mind dreams the world, these gentle flips test that premise through thought-tools and perceptual inversions. Each one offers a small, secular experiment in seeing through judgment, softening identity, and returning awareness to the quiet field beneath form.

    2. Tools for Inner Navigation.

    Navigation: Field instruments for tracking state and re-orienting awareness toward clarity.

    If consciousness is primary, then the mind is both terrain and compass. These tools test that premise through tuning, mapping, and reorientation. Each practice function: revealing where perception is tuned, and offering a small, testable shift in altitude.

    3. Field Tests in Relationship.

    Relations: Collective perception drills for testing shared mind in real-world interaction.

    If We The Dreamer proposes one shared field of consciousness, relationship is where the hypothesis meets friction. These field tests explore how perception behaves when selves appear—through tension, intimacy, or cooperation.

META NOTES

This page is a living document. Last updated: October 10, 2025

Updates in this version:
Introduced Principles in Practice, a new conceptual bridge linking Dreamer Actions to field practices — showing how core principles translate into perception tests.
Added a For Beginners banner linking to the Dreamer Core Practices, clarifying where to start the experiment.
Expanded with the new Practice Finder (real-life entry tags for situational access).
Refined three-mode structure for clarity — Experiments in perception, Tools for inner navigation, and Field tests in relationship.
Polished page hierarchy and headings for better UX and readability.
Added workshop→record framing and consistent DPSP-aligned tone across all practices.
Minor stylistic and language updates for secular, experiment-driven coherence.

*ABOUT THIS EXPERIMENT

The Dreamer Project and its affiliated materials (including “We The Dreamer” and the Practice Library) explore a consciousness-first worldview through creative and phenomenological means. These materials are experimental in nature. They make no claims of scientific proof or therapeutic efficacy. No empirical evidence currently confirms or denies the hypothesis that consciousness is fundamental to reality, nor that these practices produce measurable benefits. Participation in this project is voluntary and self-directed. It may surface challenging reflections or unsatisfying results; that possibility is part of the inquiry. If you are navigating mental-health concerns or emotional distress, please seek guidance from a qualified professional. This work is offered freely for educational and philosophical exploration only — a field test in perception, not a path of belief.
