Choose Again:

We The Dreamer

What if awakening isn’t a mystical exception but the next human milestone — a shift in perception urgent enough to change the world we are dreaming?

The Quiet Choice

The Dreamer is the simplest way to name what remains untouched — not the roles we play, not the events we suffer, but the awareness behind every form. Across traditions, seekers have said it: awakening is like waking from a dream. To call ourselves Dreamer is to choose again — to taste the feeling that what we share is deeper than thought, closer than love, and more innocent than birth. This projection asks us to live between multiplicity and undifferentiated oneness, not by declaring answers but by testing lenses — through questions, through small shifts of perception, through field experimentations. The choice is simple: stand by the old
me, me, me narrative —
or wonder together what else consciousness might make possible if we wake not just the dreamer in ourselves, but the Dreamer of the world.

And if awakening truly is the next milestone in human evolution, then it will not arrive as private fantasy but as a shared experiment: one mind remembering itself, one choice at a time.

MARTIN LENCLOS

“We The Dreamer is not a slogan but an experiment. It’s up to each of us to test it for ourselves.

Suppose reality is consciousness-first — where all there is, is consciousness, and that awareness is what you are. To try to know it is already an honorable quest.

If the entire cosmos is a dream in the mind, then nothing matters; yet knowing what we are still matters. Despite the paradox, it matters, even if nothing matters.”

FIELD NOTES

Consciousness & Symbolism

Enter Dreamer

Reclaiming possibility through the symbol of the Dreamer.

We The Dreamer is the foundational phrase in an experiment of creative consciousness — a reminder that the power of change begins in the mind, and that the only thing we can ever truly guide is how we choose to perceive. It is also a call to trust the resilience that comes from yielding to a world in constant change. And finally, it opens the deeper inquiry into the nature of reality: What if reality is not shaped by the private mind alone, but by Mind itself — the shared awareness behind all things — guiding not only what we think we know, but the very world we inhabit?

We The Dreamer carries both the poetry of the dream and the solemn weight of the “We The” invocation. That balance matters, because it offers itself as a bridge — holding together two visions rarely joined: science and spirituality. The phrase lets the symbol name what mystics have long intuited while inviting the rigor of today’s frontier science: that consciousness itself may be fundamental, prior to spacetime and matter. Mystics have spoken of the world as arising within mind, as a dream arises unbidden from the sleeper. If that’s even partly true, the task isn’t to believe but to test — to treat daily life as the laboratory.

What the Dreamer is Not.

The Dreamer names the source, not the story. Not the shifting dream, but the awareness behind it.

Think of it like the awareness behind a headset: the device may project a world, vivid and convincing, but the one who perceives it is not inside the projection. The headset projects; the wearer perceives. The Dreamer is that awareness — what you are before the images appear.

The Dreamer is not an idol but a symbol.
Not worship, but experiment.
Not escape, but a training of perception.

To call ourselves Dreamer is to remember: we are not effects of a broken world, but participants in its cause.

The Dreamer’s Echo.

Consciousness itself — the shared awareness behind all perception — appears free of the categories that divide us. It is one, innocent, undivided.

We The Dreamer suggests unity: one awareness looking through many forms.
It suggests innocence: when you wake from a dream, no matter how chaotic, you are untouched.
It suggests possibility: the world is not fixed, but imagined, moment by moment.

To call ourselves Dreamer is to live the paradox: untouched at the core, yet responsible for the dream we share. Even in loss, illness, or war, the experiment remains open: test whether reality is only appearance, or whether awareness itself can shift the perception we had of the world and provide a sense of peace.

Wonder, Not Doctrine.

MARTIN LENCLOS

“The Dreamer cannot be grasped or contained. Every label, even this one, eventually dissolves. What remains is the openness of wonder.”

That is why we call We The Dreamer — to bring this awareness back into the world, not as doctrine but as experiment, not as fantasy but as possibility. It is an attestation that awakening is not private escape, but a shared test of perception — one already echoed in spiritual traditions and increasingly explored at the frontiers of science. Together, we choose again: to wonder, to test, to re-dream the world.

Echoes Across Traditions.

Across time and culture, seekers have reached for the same metaphor: awakening is like waking from a dream. The language differs, but the gesture is familiar — pointing to an awareness untouched by the roles and events we take as real.

  • Buddhism calls samsara dreamlike, with nirvana as the lucidity that what you are was never bound.

  • Advaita Vedānta sees the world as Māyā, illusion, while Atman remains the eternal witness.

  • Christian mysticism remembers the Prodigal Son: a child welcomed home by a Father who never condemned.

  • A Course in Miracles frames the world as a perceptual error, undone by remembering innocence.

Mystics everywhere echo the same discovery: to awaken is not to escape life but to notice the unscarred innocence at its core. They named it long ago. Now it’s ours to test, in our own experiment, under the name We The Dreamer.
