dream element
- CURIE:
gmeow:dreamElement - IRI: https://blackcatinformatics.ca/gmeow/dreamElement
- Category: property
- Defined by:
gmeow:slices/dreaming - Box roles: RBox role (What is this?)
Relates a dream or other imagined experiential episode to one of its imagined constituents — a figure, object, place, event, or proposition occurring within the dream. Range intentionally OPEN: the element may be any entity the dreamer or analyst wishes to identify. NOT functional: a dream contains many elements.
Used to decompose a dream experience into its constituent imagined parts. The range is deliberately left open (Principle 13) so the property can point at any entity, description, or proposition that plays a part in the dream. Competing elementations from different vantages coexist as co-equal claims (Principle 9).
Structure
Property shape: object property; gmeow:Experience -> ?
Practical Pattern
Use gmeow:dreamElement from gmeow:Experience to ? when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

# 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.
