4	Tongue »
I should talk about language, talk about how the Oneiroi subverts and informs language . . .
5	Architect »
The presence of "architect" is a modern archetypal association; in previous times, this role was given over to the blacksmiths, the industrial machinists, the alchemists, and the navigators . . .
6	Echoes »
There are two types of dreams. You can certainly find a number of organization schemata by which to code dreams, but they are simply finer gradations of a basic duality: the Enhypnia and the Oneiroi . . .
7	Psychic Anchors »
Once you have crossed the threshold of Oneiric space, pause before you enter the astral thermocline and lay your first inter-etheric knot . . .
8	Layers »
In any group of explorers, there will be some who insist on miring the adventure into the unknown with a taxonomy. In our case, these armchair psychonauts want to map the entirety of the dream landscape (as if that were even possible) . . .
9	Schizophrenia »
The literature calls it a "splitting of the ego," a "division of sense," and a "psychosis of identity" . . .
10	Spearmint »
I remember my mother working in the garden . . .
11	Snow »
Of all the seasons, I always loved winter the most as a kid . . .
12	Slow Rot »
A dream journal is a dangerous artifact for an oneironaut to create . . .
13	Reconstruction »
The intent of this journal has always been to source out the disturbance in my head, and I have approached these pages with as little editorial interference as possible . . .
14	Substantia Nigra »
Most of you are independent rebels and are going to make up your own minds about things—or, at least, you should be . . .
15	Memory »
Memories, then, become an assembly of binary data sets, and given an observable system, it is possible that other triggers—external ones, even—can be tripped by the presence of certain binary sequences . . .
16	Library »
That is not to say that libraries are useless, moldering piles of vegetable matter that are better used for providing mulch for sunflowers or cherry trees. I, personally, love a good library . . .
17	Incense »
Most dreams are like old serial movies. There may be auditory components— speech or the occasional sound effect—but mostly they are just grainy images. The dreamer is the only one in the theater, and the old projector clacks along at twenty-three frames a second, running through that single reel of film . . .
18	Fragmentary Psychosis »
Conventional psychology defines "psychosis" as a symptomatic state of mental illness, a break in the patient's ability to function effectively. Psychosis is a catch-all term used by mainstream professionals to cover any number of sins and aberrations . . .
19	Fowl »
Commonly, in dream dictionaries, the chicken is said to represent fertility (the whole "chicken and egg" argument notwithstanding). In Chinese dream interpretation, the chicken is symbolic of pride . . .
20	Fabric »
I use the word when talking about the Oneiroi with my patients because it is an easier concept for them to wrap their heads around than some of the more historically referential terminology that we employ . . .
21	Graffiti »
There will always be a way to symbolize the existence of free will: by scrawling on the walls of bathroom stalls, by tagging subway cars and the billboards, by scraping the paint off phone booths and bus stands, or by plastering telephone poles with handbills . . .
22	Psychonaut »
The psychonaut, as distinguished from the oneironaut, is a traveler who experiments on himself, rather than acting as a healer to others. The psychonaut seeks to map his own ego . . .
23	Eyes »
Lately I have suffered a crisis of conscience. Is all this an attempt to justify my illness? To disguise the damage, to hide the rot? . . .
24	Tangle »
When I was much younger—the last few years of high school, I think—I used to have a lot of dreams about mazes. Corn mazes, unruly hedgerows, stone passages filled with steam and strange noises . . .
