Or maybe it could mean something happening contrary to the Traditions of Pilgrimage - or independently from them. We have no power over forces of universe - over the laws of physics and over the Void.
I don't think that the 'gates' were an object or even an idea. For me they sound more like the limit of perception, the boundary of things that can be interpreted by mind and by senses. And some force was able to 'open' them, thus allowing the Dreamer to understand things unfolding before them.
This might be some entities, denizens of the 'Unknown Beyond', probing and analyzing the Dreamer. But it's more likely that this was the effect of the simplification mentioned before - the Dreamer was able to see them as the 'anti-suns' because his mind was trying to contain it within their frame of reference.
The next paragraph is the easiest to understand - the Dreamer wasn't alone. It's possible that the Dreamer was invited or lured by the entity. It's possible that the 'Unknown Beyond' was a construct of the entity's own dream.
The entity learned about the Dreamer - and probably also learned about the world outside the slumber, because of the Vectors. It seems that Vectors are somehow interfering with the 'Unknown Beyond', disturbing it.
The question is - are the disruptions caused by the minds of the Pilgrims or by the establishment of the Vectors?
'He comes to undo' - was it the first known mention of the Destroyer? The First Report is really old - it may be older than the Artificial Prophets, therefore older than Secondary Vectors. It's almost impossible to determine.
