Field Notes from a Consciousness-First Exploration

What if the world we see begins in us—and not the other way around? This site gathers the ongoing inquiry: exploring reality as if consciousness comes first.

Through reflections, exercises, and dialogue, The Dreamer Report on YouTube invites you to test this shift in perception for yourself—not as a belief, but as a lived experiment.

Images, micro-reflections, and invitations to see differently.

On Instagram, The Dreamer Project unfolds as a visual journal—short excerpts, perception cues, and glimpses of daily life reframed through a consciousness-first lens. Alongside these field notes, the feed also showcases our conceptual art projects and self-questioning devices, treating objects and spaces as playful tests of perception. Each post is a portable field test—meant to interrupt scrolling with a small shift in perspective. Less about polished inspiration, more about lived experimentation in real time.

Quick field tests in perception—dream it, don’t just judge it.

On TikTok, The Dreamer Project becomes fast, playful, and disruptive. Short Drive-By Dreams, looping “Judge It… or Dream It?” tests, and the ongoing #LeafHead project turn everyday moments into public play-tests in seeing differently. Each clip is designed to spark curiosity, invite participation, and reframe the ordinary—whether through humor, design interventions, or quick shifts in perception. This is where philosophy meets the feed: fast, surprising, and open to anyone who wants to play with the lens of consciousness-first reality.
