In a world wired for outrage,
First Dream is quiet refusal.
Join the interest list.
INVITATION
A training for mind-first fitness.
Short drills. Real scenes. Clean mind-first moves.
Run the experiment*. Choose to act on a living theory — see We The Dreamer — and try it in motion. Widen the mind-scape, see life from a mind-first lens, and keep what lowers heat, improves repair, and expands your usable range under stress.
Hands-on, eyes-open training in plain language. Short visualizations, quick reps, and drills you can run anywhere.
Ways to Train.
-
Video — Series on Social
Beginner-friendly micro-lessons on the First Dream lens: short visualizations and plain-language reps to loosen rigid identity, relate more skillfully, and act from clearer perception.
-
Walkshop — Outdoor Training
Guided city walks that turn sidewalks into studios. We train attention, practice co-dreaming in live scenes, and end with a rapid repair drill. Bring a notebook; leave with one clean move.
-
Studio — Indoor Practice
Small-group mind-fitness class with timed reps, cue cards, and debriefs. We refine stance, run drills, and map personal triggers to specific protocols—from state reset to trait retuning.
-
Salon — Philosophy Nights
Salon-style gatherings—conversation, books, and tasting. We explore the case for a consciousness-first world, its practical implications, and how a little discipline brings it to life.
WHAT FIRST DREAM TRAINS
First Dream shifts you from a world
happening to me
to a scene
arising in awareness.
You work from the one-field view: each moment is met as if it appears inside a single shared field, which lowers heat and makes the next clean step obvious.
You’re no longer a small self wrestling a hostile outside. You’re the clear observer inside a live scene—roles, traits, décor included—free to act with precision.
The world doesn’t vanish; your posture changes.
People (including you) are met as expressions within a shared dream of separation. From here you can wake a notch and move cleanly.
MARTIN LENCLOS
“Mind-first practice isn’t doctrine; it’s how I meet the whole scene at once and move cleanly. Try it in motion—let your day be the lab.”
Calm Without Retreat
Because the day really does bite back. Identities fracture, feeds reward spikes, and institutions feel captured. Trying to “make a dent” can feel impossible. In that climate, choosing First Dream is radical because it refuses the default script: it drops heat without dropping responsibility.
First Dream isn’t fantasy or escape. It’s the discipline of how you perceive while life stays messy: act as if the moment arises in one shared field, wake a notch inside the scene, widen your view, soften attention, take the next clean step.
Duties stay intact—apologize, set boundaries, pay bills, see doctors. What First Dream attacks is narrow: the reflex that makes enemies, the guilt that freezes action, and the superstition that the world causes your mind. That’s why it’s radical: it’s a refusal to feed the spike economy and a commitment to act from steadiness.
This is only one doorway.

COMING SOON
A companion app for practice, insight, and collective research.
Designed as a future-phase project, the WTD app will offer a closed, immersive environment where readers can explore full-length practices, conversations, and follow-up exercises from the book. In addition to daily mind-training tools and consciousness-first challenges, the app will track experiential shifts and support peer-based awakening—contributing valuable insights to our collective research on perception and identity.
Launching in a future development phase (2026+), the app is part of the long-term architecture of We The Dreamer: a space where awakening becomes both personal and participatory.
*ABOUT THIS EXPERIMENT
The Dreamer Project (including First Dream, We The Dreamer, and the Practice Library) explores a consciousness-first worldview through creative and phenomenological means. This work is experimental by design. It makes no claims of scientific proof or therapeutic efficacy. No current evidence confirms or denies that consciousness is fundamental, or that these practices produce measurable benefits.
Participation is voluntary and self-directed; challenging reflections are possible—that risk is part of the inquiry. If you’re navigating mental-health concerns, please seek guidance from a qualified professional. This is offered for educational and philosophical exploration—a field test in perception, not a path of belief.
