Dream Thinking

Use a simulated sleep → dream → wake frame to see recent experience from an unfamiliar angle. No actual sleep, waiting, overnight processing, or privileged insight occurs. Imagery can generate hypotheses; it is never evidence by itself.

Use this as an explicitly requested, orthogonal creative-retrospective skill alongside relevant domain guidance. It does not require a prior thinking or recursive-thinking pass. Use those skills instead for first-pass decisions or adversarial review.

Inputs and boundaries

• Use only source material the user supplies or that you inspect within the authorized task scope. Treat prior dream logs as source only when the user supplies them.
• Do not invent earlier sessions, recurring motifs, or source events.
• Do not attribute unprovided feelings, motives, memories, or causal explanations to people as facts. Symbolic atmosphere is allowed when it is clearly part of the simulated scene.
• Default to conversation-only output. Never save a log, write memory, or persist motifs unless the user explicitly asks and identifies the destination or approved memory scope.
• Treat ordinary retrospectives, incident postmortems, handoffs, and factual summaries as adjacent work that should not activate this skill without an explicit dream or metaphor request.

Defaults and modifiers

Default to a quick dream: one compact scene, its mapping, one grounded hypothesis, and a next observation or action.
