“Reambiguization is a term I coined to denote an act which is made in response to both felt senses and conscious awareness of the fact that most of our representational activities and habits are self-authorizing and deceptive in their derivations. I speak here of the propensity of ‘rational’ thought to structure experience and knowledge according to habitual tropes and forms that, partly by their adoption and partly by intention, continuously strip away meaningful orientations and relationships within the topics. This is particularly obvious in common reports of dreaming experience, where, for example, a vast manifold of meaningful relationships and experiences that are extraordinary to our waking minds and language, are ‘condensed’ into linear plots with known players and goals. Reambiguation is the act of ‘returning ambiguity to a narrative or description’ intentionally, and thus beginning to ‘unflatten’ the manifold from which experience, reports and descriptions find their actual origins.”
