Inception

Hello. I'm back again with another blog post. This is my third blog post and if you did not read my last post, I said that this post will be about inception/lucid dreaming. If not, well this post will be about inception. I thank those that have read my other posts and have given me some suggestions to help me improve my blog.

Movie

Me

When people think about inception, they think about the movie, Inception which stared Leonardo DiCaprio. Sunday night, he finally won an Oscar and now all the memes about him never winning can now RIP in peace. My last post was before the Oscars and I mentioned him in my post. Coincidence!? Nah. I obviously knew that he would win, so I posted it before. Fortune-teller to be is me.

According to the Internet, the definition of inception would be starting, beginning and in science fiction term, the act of injecting an idea into someone's mind by entering their dream. The latter definition is used in the movie.

The thing is that I haven't watched Inception before. Don't hate. Wait and listen. I still haven't felt that feeling, that joy that someone has when watching a movie for the first time. The feeling of having that ''Wow!'' moment at the end. I'll continue this part after I watch the movie and analyse parts of the movie concerning inception.

Was actually 2:28h long

Well, after watching the movie, I am proud to say that I learned a lot on sleeping. I knew some of the little facts that were given about sleep, but after watching the movie, I have more ideas that I could talk about. If any of you readers are reading this, if you can recommend me some movies related to sleep(not horror), I would actually like to watch them to gather more information.
Forgot to say that I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. It seems like the type of movie that makes you want to watch it again, since some parts of the movie could be confusing and that would require you to watch it again.

So, first I'll do a summary of the beginning of the movie. The summary will stop when it the story actually ''starts.'' Don't want to spoil much of the story.

Squad

It started with Cobb(Leonardo DiCaprio) being seen on the beach after being washed away. Then, he is seen with another man whose name is Saito. Truth is that they're were in the dream world all along. After Cobb woke up, him and his team started to run away from Saito's handmen. While Cobb and Arthur were trying to leave in a helicopter, they saw that Saito was in it. After they got dropped off, Saito asked Cobb that he could help with his problem concerning his kids and him being a fugitive. He then accepted the deal and went to recruit his team composed of six members; Cobb(extractor), Adriadne(Architect), Eames(Forger), Arthur(Point Man),Yusuf(Chemist), and Saito(Employer). His deal was that he had to perform an inception on Rober Fischer, the next heir to the multi-billion dollar empire. They basically want to change Fischer's idea/make him think about his choice. And I'll leave you to discover the rest... No major spoilers.

In the movie, there were many mentions of dreaming in a dream. ''They would basically create different stages of when they dream in their dream and to get to back to reality, they would ride a synchronized system of ''kicks.'' The ''kicks'' are things that they've trained to help them wake up from the dream.

It can help

When someone wakes up from a dream, but is still in a dream and they themselves know it is a dream, it is called ''lucid dreaming''. Lucid dreaming means that you're in a dream, but a very realistic dream that sometimes you could hardly tell the difference in environment. While lucid dreaming you can move around, feel pain, etc... Lucid dreaming can actually be beneficial and doesn't pose any harm on the dreamer unless you got some weird dreams that could affect you psychologically.

I've had some cases of lucid dreaming before, but not as crazy as those in Inception.

RIP

One day, when I was sleeping(obviously), I was dreaming about being a race car driver. I was no ordinary race car driver, I was in a game like dream. One that looked familiar to Mario Kart. I started in 6th place during the race and when I was racing, someone threw a banana behind them and I got caught. My tires started to slip around and my kart spun around and I fell off the stage. But then, I was in a different dream. I was jumping on a trampoline by myself and when I was going down, I fell into the ocean and drowned. I can't swim. With the help of drowning, I woke up and I actually remembered my dream. Weird since most people don't remember what dreams they had when they were asleep. However, during the movie, it was said that people don't remember how they got in that specific dream. Makes sense since I don't know how I even got in the kart in the first place.

Well, this concludes my third blog post. Thank you for reading this post about inception/lucid dreaming. I know I said that this post would be about inception, but I found that it would help if I added some parts about lucid dreaming. I hope that this did not bore any of you readers and I hope to entertain you some more.
