Dreaming Within, Dreaming Beyond
This paper argues that our modern understanding of reality is fundamentally inverted. To truly perceive the world as it is, we must undergo a radical reorientation, moving our center of gravity within and beyond the physical body into a deeper, transpersonal memory complex. At the heart of this thesis is the concept of phenomenal transobjectivity—a working model for self as cosmos illustrating how the divide between our "inner" subjective experiences and the "outer" objective world can be rendered porous, crossable, and integrous. Through the proper reorientation of cognition, the faculty of dreaming oscillates across thresholds of energy and information, allowing one to interact with the cosmos as a continuous, interconnected series of lucid membranes. This model explains how and why dreaming can be used to contact the void: a zero-dimensional threshold and "cosmic threshing machine" that translates mass and energy into a pre-geometric, primeval expanse. By mastering the mechanics of lucidity, one can learn to cross this boundary without losing continuity of self. This work serves as an introduction to better understand humanity’s cosmological function as a "bridge species", capable of inhabiting both the physical world and the primeval architecture of dreaming.
