Inception caught my eye from the first trailer. I'd see anything featuring Leonardo DiCaprio and the graphics were impressive, especially when the cityscape bent up on itself. Before seeing the movie in a dreaming slumber I was walking down Wisconsin Street in Milwaukee, with huge European looking buildings. Out of nowhere the street and buildings began to curve upward, just like Inception! At this point I did not realize Inception was about exploring dreams.
Much to my surprise I had another Inception inspired dream quirk recently. In Inception Jordan Gordon Levitt and Ellen Page walk on a Penrose staircase right out of an M.C Escher drawing. The other day I had an impossible loop of my own, as I was walking through a purple velvet vaulted ceiling forever 21, then through an duck park then I would return to the beginning of my walk.
I'm fascinated by dreams, I have a left handed journal that I write down the ones I can remember. I believe the whole movie of Inception was a dream, in this case it was viewed as a playground for the mind to solve issues. In reality I don't believe this is what dreams are, random firings of the brain, that you can still take a greater meaning out of. I love what random neural firings in the pons can create, and enjoy going along for the ride not in control of my own thoughts. My dreams are often about people or completing tasks. But my favorites are the rare moments where I am not involved at all, but creating scenes with other characters in a movie.
Sweet Dreams.
