This paper explores theories from the fields of psychology, physics and philosophy in a playful and experiential manner. These theories are analyzed as a projective test, in an attempt to draw meaning and conclusions about the nature of the minds that created them. By juxtaposing these fields, I wish to delve into several notions: the idea that insights and interpretations manifest invention as much as discovery; the idea that the construction of thoughts is effortless and occurs naturally and independently through the function of dreaming – for which I propose the term “mental gravity;” and the idea that it is not the subject who dreams, but dreaming that creates both the subject and consciousness. Above all, I will repeatedly try to establish the notion that human beings wander a world constructed by their minds and, when they open their eyes to see it, they are not looking outside but rather inside.
