Summary
AI-generated from the abstractGeorge Gillespie's observations on light and lattice imageries connect to current research on cognitive imagery, ordinary and lucid dreaming, geometric imagery in science, altered states of consciousness, and Gibson's perception theories. His reports reveal categories of imagery deconstruction and abstraction that bridge these fields and point toward an integrative model of symbolic imagery varieties.

Abstract
George Gillespie's valuable observations on light and lattice imageries are played in the context of current research and theory on cognitive imagery (Kosslyn, Pylyshyn), ordinary and lucid dreaming, representational geometric imagery in scientific thought, the author's previous writings on altered states of consciousness, and Gibson's views on perception and imagery. Gillespie's reports show categories of imagery deconstruction and abstraction that link these areas and suggest an integrative model of the varieties of symbolic imagery.
