Inception was a film that I have been HYPED up about since watching the trailer for the first time. As much as people have been going around saying how good this movie is, I really wonder what aspects of the movie people out there really enjoyed. Even before seeing the trailer of the movie, I already had a journal entry in my personal diary labeled “Dreamworld Interception.”
Not only has the movie explained many theories and concepts of dreams well, it really makes people start to wonder how dreams are related to people’s lives. Without trying to go into further details of the movie, I would like to explore precisely how dreams are related to myself. It’s weird, because I dream a lot. I could be taking a short nap for one or two hours and when I wake up, it feels like that I have just returned from a whole different realm.
Without trying to follow too many similar points to the movie, I think the main message I want to convey is how dreams play a role in my life. Throughout my dreams, the people I see and encounter are always people that have inspired me directly or indirectly in my life, and loved ones.
I don’t know why, but I would constantly people that I see that I have looked up to in whatever stage of my life here and there. Whether I know these people directly, or have followed them in popular culture, they have always been an essential part of my dreams. When I see these people in my dreams, it’s not even set in an environment in which they are enlightening me with knowledge, but having a similar conversation. Out of these random talks I have with people, they become messages when I wake up. Come to know of it, it’s really how I interpret the message. I could be an extremist and take that message fully or just casually let it slip as another daily conversation, but it has to mean more? Does it?
Maybe, through the most obscure and random dreams. I have worked and hanged out with many people that I always wanted to hang out with. Now, the scary thing is that, many of these people I’ve dreamed upon have sooner or later became a part of my real life. Even though what we do or work upon isn’t exactly what I’ve seen in the dream, the fact that I am able to work with these people directly, after dreaming about it, is somewhat scary? Did I draw myself to these individuals? Or have they simply came into my life due my ability to project the future?
Whatever the case is, I will be able to learn more about how dreams are actually related to me in real life as I become more conscious of this subject. I could say a lot of things have came from my dreams, but there will never be proof. Could justalilhype! been an idea sparked through my head while I was simply dozing off, or was it truly inspired by my love of street culture? I can’t give you an answer, but what I can say is that matters that inspires me the most in life, are equally cherished upon in both my real life and in the midst of my illusions.
