Glad to have you back, Oliver.
IMO the perceiver is the subconscious, and the interpreter is the conscious mind. Both functions are in accordance with what each part of our minds do. The subconscious perceives but doesn't judge, the interpreter judges, and makes sure the info is stored in a way we can retreive it. I have my own ideas of why this is but it goes beyond the scope of this thread.
On the other hand, according to Moen, a certain amount of Interpreter is necessary to actually store the memory in the brain. The Interpreter not only lists out associations like "I just saw a cat. I had a cat once, it loved its yarn. Yarn sounds like yawn. Darn! I lost concentration." (also known as the monkey mind), according to Moen it also makes these memory associations in the first place. According to Moen for good recall a certain amount of Interpreter is necessary or else you just click out and simply not remember the experience. I agree with this, because we are always the perceiver but only sometimes the interpreter.
Finding a balance between Interpreter and Perceiver is according to Moen the key in having an experience and to remember it. It is at least an interesting idea. I believe this is what Monroe called using/adding the left brain where the right brain usually dwells.
I call it making the unconscious conscious.
