Dreaming Meat Puppets is a stark, provocative manifesto about waking up inside the systems that script our desires, shape our identities, and move our bodies through habit, hierarchy, and illusion. Blending philosophy, rebellion, and art, it declares that we are half-awake beings pulled by biological drives and institutional strings—yet still capable of awareness, resistance, and reinvention. The document outlines a ten-point “Decalogue” for awakening, offers practical steps for reclaiming agency, and proposes an aesthetic of subversive, surreal, and disruptive art designed to reveal hidden control and ignite creative autonomy.     (c) 2025 -- 8 pages
