These devices all interact via theater. Like there's a fiction, or a dream, that we can interact with via fiction/dream things.
The afterlife and dreamland are one and the same?
You see it in other cultures too. Little houses for the spirits and little people. In japan, Scandinavia...
It also reminds me of the demon in "The Exorcist". A master of language and also bound by it. A creature of theater.

- swayvil 3y agoSuspension of disbelief. Or assuming a different set of beliefs. These beliefs being a set of assumptions or rules underlying a story or a game. To move from one world to another. To enter a movie, story, game... we are all pretty familiar with that.

- pyinstallwoes 3y agoHow would one interact ?
- swayvil 3y agoThe input would probably be like they say. Create or modify the "spirit door" or "elf house" or whatever. Output... maybe watch for phenomena in your imagination (which becomes distinctly visible in half-sleep, hypnagogic states, certain kinds of meditation, drug induced hallucinations) If you are good at visualizing you might be able to use that instead of carpenting up an elf house. You might end up with a technique similar to that used by the Pure Land Buddhists.
