They'll think we're all totally nuts. :shock: There will be religious fanatics speaking out against it, calling it evil and unnatural. And you know that there'll be people out there who hear about it and start a cult, where the members try to enter other peoples' minds and control them.Quote:

Really, two possibilites: One, a good portion will try to LD and SD and won't be very successful thus forgetting about forever or till a much later date. The second is what's written below:Quote:

Hmmm, I don't think Inception is comparable to the matrix in that way. (And I've never seen Nightmare on Elm Street, so I don't know about that)
But The Matrix is like, connected to LDing in quite a deep level, which not everyone would get. Whereas Inception is actually about LDing, and Articles have mentioned LDing directly. So I think it could bring a lot of people to gain interest in LDing.
exactly, the matrix was more like a metaphor or an analogy for lucid dreaming, and only cool people like us understand it:shadewink:Quote:

Looks pretty awesome. Here's a quote from the director: "I tried to work that idea of manipulation and management of a conscious dream being a skill that these people have. Really the script is based on those common, very basic experiences and concepts, and where can those take you? And the only outlandish idea that the film presents, really, is the existence of a technology that allows you to enter and share the same dream as someone else"
Can't wait to see this! I'm seeing it on opening day, how about you guys?
definitely going to the midnight showing
Be sure to put any spoilers in spoiler tags [ spoiler] [ /spoiler] ok?
This movie has been discussed before but it needed its own thread so it doesn't matter.
The matrix is actually made based off of an old philosophy. I guess it just happends to be realated to LDing.Quote:

Well, just from seeing the trailer where he says "You don't even realise anything is wrong until you wake up", people will start thinking about stuff more in their dreams, and they will realise it's a dream, then they will google how they were able to do it.Quote:

We should try sending an email to Christopher Nolan and seeing if he can't get a few good words out about Lucid Dreaming and maybe even DreamViews.
