THE DREAMER PROJECT

Where the Record Lives

This project doesn’t end in a book or dataset — it unfolds as a living inquiry. What’s gathered here are shared impressions, journal notes, and fragments of perception: a collective sketchbook of what shifts when awareness leads.

DESIGN-FORWARD & OPEN

Bridging from Practice to Experiment

The practices begin elsewhere — in the Mind-First Creative Practice Library. That’s the workshop: a set of mind-first tools and design cues to try in daily life. When one of those practices is carried into lived experience and reflected on, it moves here — into the experiment, where we keep the record. The library is where ideas are drafted; the creative experiment is where they are lived and reflected on.

MARTIN LENCLOS

“It’s a creative inquiry, not a study.

At this stage, The Dreamer Project is not a scientific project or large-scale survey. It’s a long-view creative inquiry — part philosophical lab, part design process, part community conversation, and maybe even part conceptual art happening.

The impressions you’ll find here are personal, provisional, and ongoing. They are not final knowledge but logs, questions, and invitations to try perception shifts for yourself.

And remember: if consciousness is primary, then all of this is unfolding in us, not outside of us.”

Where We Are

  • The Present Stage

    What’s shared now are fragments: YouTube loops, essays, and annotations. They’re exploratory, subjective, and deliberately personal. There are no surveys or claims here — only early field notes of daily life, where the creative experiment takes root.

  • The Long View

    The Dreamer Project looks further ahead: a slow arc of creative research that may one day cross into collaborative exploration. Design objects, symbolic practices, and perception probes could evolve into shared tools like apps, or participatory platforms. No deadlines, no grand promises — just curiosity carried forward.

  • The Wider Conversation

    This project doesn’t live in isolation. Philosophers of mind, consciousness researchers, and nondual traditions are asking related questions. The Dreamer Project isn’t doctrine and isn’t science (yet). It’s a field test of perception — an invitation to join the conversation without pressure for conclusions.

Your Role

Every creative experiment needs participants, and here that means you. Try a practice, shift a perception, and notice what changes. Then share: leave a comment on YouTube, join the newsletter, or add your voice to the We The Dreamer book survey. Your role isn’t to believe, but to try and reflect — to add your mark to the shared sketchbook of perception.

ABOUT THE EXPERIMENT

The Dreamer Project operates as a design-based inquiry into the nature of perception.
It borrows language from philosophy, psychology, and the arts, but it is not affiliated with any therapeutic, academic, or religious institution.
Its statements about a “consciousness-first” world represent hypotheses to be tested through direct experience, not assertions of fact.

BLOG / ESSAYS

Journal of the Experiment.

Where field notes and practices become written reflections.

Each journal note and annotation expands on themes touched here — from consciousness-first principles to the Dreamer’s Compass. They’re marginalia in the experiment’s notebook: occasional, interpretive, and meant to spark further thought rather than offer conclusions.
