This self-study of ten dreams focuses on the topic of emergence of self and lifeworld from the vantage of imageless lucid dreaming. By engaging in the practice of phenomenology from within these dreams, I was provided an opportunity to account for conscious expectation, and explore the dreams’ spontaneous dimensions. The resulting dream texts are analyzed with a modified phenomenological-heuristic method, producing a creative synthesis based on textual and structural descriptions of this researcher’s experience of spontaneous emergence. Heuristic levels of participation include paintings and drawings that augment the phenomenological analysis.
