It comes from the Ursula LeGuin novel “The Lathe of Heaven” in which there’s a guy who, whatever dreams becomes reality so his therapist starts using hypnosis to manipulate him into dreaming what they want to happen. People use it now for when you predict something online as a joke and then it happens. It only seems to ever work for bad things.
Infra materialism is an ideology in the video game Disco Elysium which argues that humanity’s collective conscious can manifest anything in reality if enough people focus on an idea long and hard enough.

Humanity being the orks in 40k all along makes sense.
Definitely read the novella it's based on, it's very fun and I was personally surprised I had never come across it until I looked up what the joke was about. It's a fast read too!
a lathe is a tool for manufacturing that works by spinning an object, usually wood but it can be other things, beneath a large blade or series of blades and sanders to make it the desired shape. As others have already said, it is reference to a LeGuinne novel about a man who can control reality unconsciously, and the lathe was selected as the metaphorical tool with which he shapes the heavens.
