Dream
01 / INHERITANCE
Begin with the context.
Dreams can function as meaningful channels of knowledge, warning and spiritual experience in Yorùbá thought.
Place & variation
Yorùbá divinatory traditions. Terminology, authority and practice depend on a practitioner’s training and community.
02 / SYSTEM — EDITORIAL ANALYSIS
Knowledge & interpretation.
Dream narratives invite interpretation beyond waking experience.
This is the archive’s reading of a structure or relationship, not a claim that the tradition was designed as a modern technology.
03 / FUTURE — INHERITED FUTURES SPECULATION
Can an archive keep a dream’s ambiguity intact?
Offline cognition producing information outside waking perception.
An artistic proposition to explore. Historical documentation does not establish the technological analogy.
