Thread: Inception - Do you like it? - Post your Review

Well, Juroara, think about it.

"Oh, you could just snap your fingers and the other guy who is lucid will explode"
Well what about that guy who is lucid who is gunna explode? "Just make it that you are unexplodable"

And also

"Dude, just fly away"
Well what about the other guy who is lucid? "Just make it that you can't fly here"

And

"Heal yourself, asian man"
Well what about the other lucid peoples? "Make it that he dies a bloody death"


etc. etc. etc.
Kinda a mindfuck.

THAT's what I disagree with what you are saying, juroara.

However, it is still disappointing that there isn't flying and shit. But, I'm just saying, it isn't a poor representation of lucidity.

I have no idea what you're talking about!

Since when can you make another dreamer explode?

I was talking about the interaction of the dreamers and the dream characters. I never said that lucid dreamers exert control over other lucid dreamers, obviously not. What I did say was that lucid dreamers should be able to fly and heal themselves from imaginary injuries. In other words, they should be able to exert control over THEMSELVES regardless of whats happening or whose dream it is.

I'm not sure what you're trying to get at, or why it's a mindfuck

It's not all that complicated. A dreamer gets injured, a dreamer heals himself. It doesn't matter what other dreamers do to him. In other words there is no threat or danger in lucid dreams. And I agree with Dannon, this element of imminent danger in the dream MAKES NO SENSE! Therefore, not a good portrayal of lucid dreaming.

No one, not even a person you dream share with could ever hurt you unless you believe you are injured. That's the reality and the nature of dreams.

Instead of exploring the weirdness of dreams, it transformed the dream into some virtual reality with a bunch of silly rules.

Ok, fair enough, but I still say that not everything is possible in a dream where there are more than one person creating the rules.
