These words that are joined and separated between a series of beginnings and endings, with the comas, colons, and simicolons, the subject and the object, the past, present, and future, the active and the passive, record the conscious process. The body of writing records my waking lived experience. I have no record of that other lived experience, the dream. It is as if the recording machine is off as I sleep and the experience remains unrecorded until a re-awakening. To "write the dream down" is to superimpose a syntax upon the dream.

"The processes of the system Ucs are timeless; i.e. they are not ordered temporally, are not altered by the passage of time, in fact bear no relation to time at all." Freud, Collected Papers. Vol. IV. 119. A sentence is a slice of time. The ordering process and the recording process are the same process; the unconscious process is unrecordable. Upon awakening, the dream is incorporated by conscious process, the memory of a dreamer who had the dream. The interpretation depends upon memory, or, time.

In the model of human experience that I am attempting in this writing, the unconscious process imagines, it does not think; conceptuality is the conscious process, a secondary process which superimposes itself upon imagination. This secondary process is temporal, and minimally four-dimensional; time/space represents human consciousness in the abstract. A sentence begins and ends; before and after there are only images.
