The creeped out factor for me has less to do with the "I might be dreaming right now" feeling and more with how much I identified with the main character's subconscious attacking him.
Like the main character, I've had a recurring wrench-in-the-works projection before (who has imitated both a girlfriend and my father). On both occasions, the character was hostile to the fact that I was lucid.
Ah, I see.Quote:

Random question: Does anybody feel like they become more energy-aware when they regard waking reality as a dream? Walking home from the movie, I guess that some of my creeped-out-ness came from my energetic senses feeling suddenly blown open. I could feel the gaze of people on the street. My own thoughts and feelings were more palpable. Trees were more alive. And on and on.

Like I said, Astral Dynamics says that a true WILD is as realistic as reality.
WILD is a step beyond the typical lucid dream.
Yes, but I don't get what that has to do with what we were talking about. I still don't.Quote:

WILDs can be as realistic as reality, but usually include signs that it's a dream. In the movie, the dreamsigns are all more or less realistic (minus gravity shifting, omnipresent music, a train coming from nowhere, etc.)
In a typical WILD, the environment might appear as realistic as waking reality, but you also might see a dragon. In Inception, most of the subconscious projections were people, as opposed to say, dragons. That's why I say the dreamworlds were somewhat more realistic than they should have been (but, of course, that was a creative choice).
If I were a mark, and somebody drugged me and I found myself in a dreamworld with them trying to manipulate me, I'd be much more likely to recognize that it's a dream if their subconcious projections were more than merely people (but included dragons, giant spiders, etc.)
I'm gonna watch it on Friday. 8)
Hello All,
I just watched the movie called Inception. I liked the story, very original and made me think of this forum sometimes.
Here's the summary from IMDB:
Fiction or possible?Quote:
In a world where technology exists to enter the human mind through dream invasion, a highly skilled thief is given a final chance at redemption which involves executing his toughest job till date, Inception.
