Dreamscripts in The Waking World - The Brooklyn Rail
Dreamscripts in The Waking World - The Brooklyn Rail
Dreamscripts in The Waking World - The Brooklyn Rail
By William Kiesel
With the use of oneiric praxis, sigils of the wake world can be brought
to the dreamscape, as well as drawing the dream texts upon the waking
consciousness. No doubt the viewing of sigillic devices could produce
the atmosphere of the dream in the waking consciousness of one
unaccustomed to seeing such scripts. It is this alteration of
consciousness that allows for the ingress and egress of secret
knowledge. Hypnogogia occurs naturally when the consciousness is
falling toward sleep but there are examples of sorcerous use of
hypnogogia in order to create [or receive] automatic writing which also
displays the characteristics of asemic, sigillic and oneiric script.
Whether received or indited, the sigillic device serves as a medium or
bridge between worlds.
