THE DREAMER PROJECT
Where the Record Lives
This project does not resolve into conclusions or a final dataset. It remains a living inquiry. What is gathered here are dated observations, practice logs, revisions, and fragments of perception—field material from treating life as a consciousness-first experiment.

The Present Stage
What’s shared here is field material: dated entries, fragments of observation, and small attempts to test a consciousness-first lens in ordinary life. The record is subjective by design. It is not a survey, not a claim, and not an argument—only a traceable archive of what was tried and what, if anything, seemed to shift.

The Long View
This inquiry remains open-ended. Over time, some practices or design probes may be refined, renamed, or retired; others may emerge. No deadlines and no promised outcomes—just a disciplined habit of noticing, recording, and revising only when experience warrants it.
EXPERIMENT LOG
Method
This experiment began in January 2026 and is logged on an ongoing basis. Entries are recorded four to five times per week, with a minimum of fifteen logs per month and a cadence intended to increase gradually over time. In selected field tests, the use of a practice or mindset is determined either by a coin flip or an internal decision compass, allowing situations to unfold with or without deliberate intervention. Logs are recorded as-is and are not retroactively revised. No outcome is presumed in advance, and null or inconclusive results are preserved alongside perceived effects.
Sample log (illustrative only). The full structure is described below.
What’s Shared Here
What’s shown here is a sample log and a read-only view of the structure—meant to clarify how the record is kept. It is not the actual experiment record. The experiment is maintained privately so observations can remain plain, unfinished, and not shaped for an audience.

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.
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.
META NOTES
This page is a living document. Last updated: January 16, 2025
Updates in this version: Renamed and reframed the page as an Experiment Log; Introduced a defined method, logging cadence, and condition controls; Added a structured, read-only view of the log schema; Clarified the distinction between public samples and private records; Removed participation and outcome-oriented language to preserve the integrity of the inquiry; Introduced a formal Experiment Log with defined conditions, fields, and post-event ratings; added a sample-only preview to preserve the integrity of the record.
Previous update - October 1, 2025: Clearer framing of the record (from practice to experiment), added Present/Long View sections, emphasized participation, and refined narrative flow.

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.
