In the waking state, dream experience is at the peripheral background position; symmetrically, in dreams, everyday experience is also peripheral.

醒时状态中，梦经验处于边缘背景位置；与此对称，梦境中日常经验亦为边缘。

This program treats the Seth Material as a source of hypotheses, not as doctrine to be validated. Lead dossiers are AI-compiled from the corpus with a book-and-session citation after every statement; literature reviews are AI web-search summaries whose references were all DOI-verified against Crossref; the agenda draft is an AI synthesis. None of it is Seth's original text, and none of it represents scientific consensus. English fields are machine-translated; the Chinese text is authoritative.

Adjudicating experiment

For supplementary question 3, first conduct a feasibility study with about 30 skilled lucid dreamers, then a confirmatory study with about 100 participants, 4–6 monitored nights each plus daytime experience sampling; project about 2 years. Predefine periphery as low overt reportability but retained priming or interference effects; compare waking priming by recorded dream content with recognition or interference in dreams by learned daily material, using voice questioning and eye-movement responses. Match content, time delay, salience, and familiarity; test whether standardized effects are symmetric using pre-registered equivalence bounds. Continuous flash suppression and bistable perception can serve as auxiliary waking tasks, but closed-eye REM cannot directly replicate binocular stimulus competition; imagining the same task in dreams does not guarantee measurement equivalence.
