Dream Report

A recollection experience in which an agent reports or recalls a dream — a gmeow:Experience whose mental-process kind is gmeow:processRecollection and whose content originates in imagination (gmeow:contentOrigin gmeow:originImagined). A standpoint-indexed, low-metacognitive-reliability claim: competing reports coexist and superseded reports are suppressed, not deleted.

A dream report is a recollection episode: an instance of gmeow:Experience with gmeow:mentalProcessType gmeow:processRecollection and gmeow:contentOrigin gmeow:originImagined. It is a claim about a prior dream episode, but modelled as the recollection process itself rather than as a propositional claim class, so it inherits the occurrent mental-timeline machinery (gmeow:experiencer, gmeow:mentalProcessType, etc.) from gmeow:Experience.

Dream reports are co-equal vantage-indexed claims with low metacognitive reliability (Principle 9): the dreamer, an analyst, and a later interview may produce competing reports of the same dream episode, and all may coexist. A superseded report (for example, a corrected or withdrawn dream-journal entry) is suppressed with gmeow:displayable false rather than deleted (Principle 10).

Structure

Subclass of: gmeow:Experience

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:DreamReport as a specialized kind of gmeow:Experience. Add statement metadata or a standpoint when the assertion needs provenance, confidence, or vantage.

# Worked example — an ordinary human dream with narrative texture.
#
# A dream is composed from core GMEOW machinery: a gmeow:Experience whose
# gmeow:mentalProcessType is gmeow:processDreaming, whose awareness mode is
# gmeow:modeDreaming, and whose content is gmeow:originImagined. Imagined
# constituents are attached via the dreaming slice's gmeow:dreamElement, and the
# morning report is a gmeow:DreamReport (a recollection experience) marked as a
# low-reliability, standpoint-indexed claim.

# --- The morning report: a low-reliability recollection of the dream.
