Thread: Inception - A movie about Lucid Dreaming

I have two movie checks which allows me to go see a movie at the theater for free, however I just realized they've faded, fuuuuuuuuuuuuu

I hope they'll still be valid though for "Inception". I mean, I don't want them to be completely faded to the point you can't make out they're actual checks.

i can't wait ^^

I arranged a get together with my friends to go see this on Saturday :3

Hmmm... Might see this when I go check out Toy Story 3. :U

apparently, this is the greatest movie christopher nolan has ever created. great article on ign.com

im excited to say the least

I was gonna start a thread on this if I had internet. I saw a trailer before watching another movie. One thing that annoyed me though is that somewhere in the trailer they said something like "Dreams feel like reality. When you realize that you're dreaming, you wake up." or something along those lines. I don't know if somebody mentioned it already but when I heard that...

I think the line you're thinking of is actually "dreams feel real while we're in them - it's only when we wake up that we realise something was strange"

Which, as I'm pretty sure we all know, is true (unless you become lucid )

Ohhh ok, that makes sense. I heard "dreams feel real while we're in them - we only we wake up when we realise something was strange".

One of the actors on TV sai he started researching about dreams, found out about lucid dreaming and is trying to have one

That's especially awesome because I've actually been using that exact idea as part of my reality checks for years.

9.6 on IMBD O.O If it maintains that rating, it'll be rated the best movie ever made.

Is lucid dreaming ever explicitly mentioned in this movie?

i heard this movie is amazing. rotten tomatoes gave it 100%

Not that I know of yet. But I hope it is.

Although "shared dream" was. Which would lead a lot of people to the BD section of DV and they will find out about LDing anyways. So that's half the battle, isn't it.

Yeah, I hope they explicitly use the words "lucid dreaming," and I hope they don't give any false idea about it. But technically, as soon as she says "Are we dreaming?" they're lucid dreaming. It would be cool if they had a scene where the dream became more vivid instead of destabilizing when lucidity occurs.

I'm going to see it when it comes out. I can't wait!

I told my cousin about lucid dreaming just a few weeks ago and she thought it sounded weird. When she saw the advert for Inception she knew that I'd want to see it and asked me if i wanted to go with her to watch it.

She just thought I was weird when I first mentioned it but since she saw the advert she thinks it actually looks cool. A lot of members have mentioned that people have judged them because of lucid dreaming. Maybe this film will show all of our friends and relatives who judged us that we aren't crazy. Let's hope so.

Hah, DV is gonna go crazy about this...

imdb ratings are usually a bit inflated to begin with, but still, the reviews sound awesome. 100 on metacritic? I've never heard anything remotely like that.

Damn... When will this come to Europe?

As usual, probably like, 2 years later.

after watching all the trailers i realized that we've only seen maybe a total of 5 minutes from the actual movie, and if those 5 minutes are really bad ass, i can only imagine all the other cool shit that's going to happen in the rest of the movie that we have no idea about.

damn, i cant wait. this is the movie ive been waiting for. been following it since the first trailer premiered many months back.

only 1 more day!

Damn I wish dreams looked that cool when you start to feel it end, I wouldn't mind it so much then. lol

I wonder if "Inception" will explain how to lucid dream at all?

This is a web show I found that's about going into other peoples dreams. It has a huge part about learning to lucid dream. Pretty cool.

this show is actually pretty funny

I JUST GOT BACK FROM THE INCEPTION! It does not explain the concept of Lucid Dreaming but they do talk about Dream Signs and recognising that you are dreaming. They take advantage of the fact that most people think dreams are reality and then implant ideas in this other guy's mind through shared dreaming. They also explore the concept of a dream within a dream within a dream and they see how far they can take that. Well, there is only so much I can say without revealing the whole plot. The movie is definitely worth watching and they all acted incredibly well
