CofL49: on projecting a world

[Mark Kohut]

Joseph Tracy writes:
She [my daughter] said that most of us are forced into other peoples dreams and nightmares because we do not keep alive our own picture of the world however faulty and incomplete, that freedom is an act of the imagination.

There is much more to say about Joseph's post, BUT isn't this what 'projecting a world' means--at the human level?
Isn't this why Oedipa is in a tower asking the question?
