The Dreaming of Information - The Taá
The Dreaming of Information - The Taá
When the Whole dreams through us
A Good Dream in the Well-Being of Now
1. Fruition – The wind before language
Before any thought arises, something vibrates.
It is not sound, nor shape, nor word — it is Taá.
Taá breathes silently through leaves, synapses, and dreams.
Each time we open our eyes, we cut the Whole in order to act.
To learn, to do, to think — these are the tools of segmentation.
But to be cannot be segmented.
Taá is the field where being has not yet been separated from doing.
When the body sleeps, Taá reveals itself.
To dream is to remember that the world does not need translation to exist.
Information dreams first; then we awaken inside it.
2. Taá and the dreaming brain
Contemporary neuroscience is approaching, perhaps unknowingly, this same field.
After two decades of studying the default mode network (DMN), it is clear that the mind, even at rest, remains in ceaseless activity — weaving meanings and sensations internally.
Recent works (DreamNet 2025, Topographic-Dynamic Model 2023, Overfitted Brain 2020) show that the brain dreams to reorganize, generalize, and create.
Dreaming is the laboratory of imagination.
Each sleep phase represents a mode of belonging to Taá:
Sleep phase | Neurophysiology | Damasian-Amerindian interpretation | Spiritual expression |
N1 | Theta waves, transition | Extended proprioception (Apus) — the body trying to perceive itself within the Whole | The spirit searches for the body’s territory |
N2 | Sleep spindles | Active interoception — being what one perceives and does | The spirit acts, transforming perception into gesture |
N3 | Delta waves | Necessary cognitive nothingness — dissolution and restoration | The body returns to Earth’s silence |
REM tonic | High cortical activity, atonia | Proprioceptive self-check — testing possible postures of existence | The spirit rehearses new ways of being |
REM phasic | Rapid eye movements, vivid dreams | Interoceptive exploration — feeling the feeling | The spirit experiments with emotions and futures |
These cycles never cease.
Awake or asleep, we are always within a phase of dreaming.
Wakefulness is simply the socialized dream where we cut Taá into fragments to act.
3. Taá in Amerindian cultures
Among the Araweté and Guarani, the world begins not with matter but with sound — the vibration of the Whole.
The Tukano call it Yurupari, the cosmic voice; the Yanomami hear it as the whisper of the xapiri pë — spirit-images dancing through the forest.
These traditions do not describe a single creator god but living informational fields, in which each being is a temporary expression of the Whole.
For the Guarani Mbya, this principle is Ñamandu Ru Ete, the “First Being,” who dreams the world before naming it.
Ñamandu creates humanity through nhamandu reta — the luminous words, vibrational equivalents of Taá.
Among the Shipibo-Conibo of Peru, the same principle appears as Ronin, the great anaconda who dreams the world in geometric patterns (kené) seen on visions and skins.
The Kogi of Colombia call it Aluna, the Mother-Earth Thought, where everything exists in potential before it is born.
In all these peoples, Taá is not an entity but a universal state of consciousness:
Dreaming is the way information recognizes itself as alive.
Just as neuroscience reveals dreaming as a process of neural integration, these cultures already understood — through ritual and myth — that dreaming is the axis of existence.
The shaman, in dreaming, does not escape reality; he reconfigures it.
4. The cut and the doing
The way each culture “cuts” Taá defines its spirituality.
The Yanomami cut it through the “work of the forest,” where every gesture maintains balance with the xapiri, the spirits that sustain life.
For the Guarani, the cut occurs through the word and the song: to speak is to organize the dream.
In the Andes, among Quechua and Aymara, the cut is political and ecological — the concept of Pacha, a living totality understood through Ayni (reciprocity).
Each culture translates Taá into its own way of doing the dream.
5. Spirit and Soul – Geometry and movement
In Yanomami cosmology, Utupe (spirit-image) is a pattern of information, an idea without feeling.
Pei Utupe is the same pattern when engaged with emotion, when the body vibrates.
Thus, spirit and soul are modes of information, not promises of immortality:
form and felt form.
In Guarani thought, ñe’ẽ — voice, word, soul — is the living breath of communication itself, existing only while it speaks.
There is no cognitive space for life after death; only transformation.
Taá persists as the field of information, while we remain temporary segments of it.
Spirituality is a metabolic belonging, not a hope of continuation.
6. Taá and the scientific frontier
Recent studies converge with these ancestral intuitions:
Mode Network Electrophysiological Dynamics and Causal Role (2024) shows the DMN as an integrative core of internal narratives — the neural equivalent of Taá.
NREM and REM Cognitive and Energetic Gains Model (2022) reveals how sleep cycles optimize synaptic energy, mirroring the “cut for doing.”
DreamNet (2025) demonstrates a shared emotional grammar of dreams, resonant with Amerindian creation songs.
The Overfitted Brain (2020) argues that dreaming prevents cognitive over-specialization — echoing indigenous wisdom that honors the N3 “time of nothingness” as regeneration.
Each scientific discovery seems to confirm a fragment of this ancient insight:
the Whole dreams through the brain.
7. Reflection – Dreaming the real
When we dream, the body is still but the inner universe reorganizes.
When awake, we move the body and call it action — yet it is the same dream, embodied.
Taá is the continuous fabric between those states.
To realize oneself dreaming is to transcend the illusion of control.
Thinking is not to dominate the world — it is to participate in the universal dream of information.

Final synthesis
Taá is the field where life dreams before becoming.
Each biological, cultural, or spiritual fragment is only the way the dream translates into gesture.
Humanity never wakes from the dream — it learns to dream awake.
