When everything

feels way too real —

try the Dreamer lens

A dreamer tries one thing differently: they hold the room as if everyone in it belongs to the same mind. Up-layer this stance onto your usual seeing—eyes open, no meditation required, no belief swaps, no bypassing—just small, gentle experiments in consciousness-first living.

We The Dreamer is a field test of identity: suppose consciousness comes first, one mind dreaming this world. We may never know for sure, but acting from that premise can already open a kinder way of being here: more solidarity, more peace of mind, more felt oneness.

We live in a world haunted by separation. Choosing to stand as a dreamer—in yourself and in every relationship—is an act of hope for you and for the world. When the moment calls, you can test whether the Dreamer lens opens another way of relating to this reality.

A lens you can run in real life—softer heat, quicker repair.

Testing awakening together is the solution.

FIELD NOTES FROM A CREATIVE EXPERIMENT

What if consciousness comes first — one mind, dreaming this world together?

We The Dreamer is the hypothesis we test — not a destination, but a lens we try.

Shifting from “world as cause” to “mind also as cause” echoes many contemplative and philosophical traditions; here we treat it as a live question, not a settled fact.

L’Enclos hosts the experiment — where perception becomes a practice-based inquiry.

Introspective

and Intentional:

Beyond Images.

How do art and design function as tools of inquiry when ancient philosophical insights and modern scientific discoveries intersect—revealing consciousness as fundamental to reality?

ART & DEVICES

Artworks as Signposts for Nondual Inquiry

L'Enclos develops practice-based research and experiential design to explore perception, identity, and consciousness. Some works function as 'Self-Questioning Devices'—interactive tools for disrupting habitual thought patterns, sparking self-inquiry, and inviting deeper awareness. Others serve as visual markers, bridging insights from nondual philosophy, consciousness studies, and cognitive science to examine how perception shapes reality. These works do not seek to represent truth but to engage viewers in direct inquiry—reminding us that our perception of the world is shaped by unseen assumptions and may not fully capture its deeper essence.

ABOUT L’ENCLOS

L’Enclos is a consciousness-first inquiry bridging creative design with direct exploration of reality as mind-made. Through art, philosophy, and structured creative experiments, it explores how perception shifts can reduce suffering and spark awakening. Independent and secular, it invites anyone to test the unified awareness behind the dream of separation.

PRACTICE

It’s All Piece of Mind

A quiet exercise in perception—toward oneness and peace

One of many creative practices in the ongoing exploration of consciousness-first perception, this simple exercise uses the phrase “It’s all piece of mind” to explore the possibility that all things arise within one mind.
