About the Project

The Dreampoint™ Sampler is an exploration into the art of dreaming. Based upon over twenty years of personal fascination into the dreamworld, the project continues to evolve from empirical experience, while introducing elements of sci-fi and fantasy.

1. History

The science of dreaming still remains a highly esoteric field of study. However, for many centuries an almost ritualistic practice known as dream alchemy, or Pende Gaten, has been performed by a secret and engimatic society who call themselves Chasengate.

The knowledge of the Chasengate elders has been passed down with every generation, through numerous young acolytes and masters, amassing an extraordinary collection of mysterious canons and lore.

2. Background

The Phanto Murain refers to the essence of everything that is real and surreal. It is the fundamental existential domain, and as such, we are never apart from it.

As corporeal beings, we are incapable of experiencing the totality of existence by what is known as Daetriem, quite literally Earth, and the restrictions it imposes. Encompassing Daetriem is Auporiem, or Heaven, gateway to which is Saigekiem, sometimes refered to as Dreampoint. The passage of Saigekiem only occurs following death. However, even in slumber we can often realise the “light” of supernatural consciousness — an awareness that is most divine.

Dream is defined:  “something notable for its beauty, excellence, or enjoyable quality.” This is indeed attributive of Auporiem, a universe in which perfection is indefinite and surrealism is omnipresent.

While it may often appear the Dreamworld is attainable only by means of sleep or death, it is the very essence of all three spheres of being: Auporiem, Daetriem, and Saigekiem. The act of Dreaming in and of itself often refers to any higher level of consciousness, that is, surpassing one's current state of mind.

Understandably, illusions are quite easily attributed to fantasy. However, despite this human inclination, it is important to realize that our natural consciousness is the only deception. The faculty for uninhibited perception is only possible in the dimension of pure imagination.

Dream alchemists are able to manipulate their understanding of existence to achieve greater enlightment. While incapable of willfully transcending from Daetriem to Saigekiem and Auporiem, they do possess the ability to freely re-associate with the three spheres of consciousness.
