there are similar concepts that relate to lds. the matrix was influenced by a lot of things like the invisibles comic books, japanese animation etc. |

This may have been brought up before, but isn't it odd how the matrix seems a lot like an LD in concept? Bending reality just by willing it and stuff? Seems like the machines using humans as batteries and allowing them to live lives in the matrix is symbolic of dreaming, and knowing you are in a matrix is just like LD's, at least to me. |

True insanity is doing the same thing twice and expecting different results.

El que vive de ilusiones muere de desengaños.
yeah the matrix came on over the weekend and i was thinking the exact same thing how they related alot and how the people in the real world |
|
This has been mentioned before, I think it was a long topic too. |
|
These are the tears that I dream about...
i to have thought a great deal about the relationships, somebody should try and email them about the relationship between the matrix + LD's |
|
I guess there are some similarities...but in the Matrix, it was like REAL conciousness...and you didn't have to 'WAKE UP' when you didn't want to |

LDs are very much like the matrix. You spend your dreamlife being a "mindless zombie", rationalizing everything, ignoring the obvious facts... |
|
in the matrix, morepheus said that the matrix was a computer system, and by doing all the cool jumps, they are merely hacking the computer system. |
|
I know I am bad, but I just started watching Matrix Revolutions last night. |

you must be the change you wish to see in the world...

yeah its cool how when your actually trying to find or see certain things they stick out like crazy |
|
Yeah the matrix - LD parallels are quite cool 8) |

I've been so lazy - someone kick me.

Well with a new generation of newbies, a new generation of the old questions comes to mind. |
|
The fact that we cannot get hurt by anything in the dream world makes all the difference. If you knew that you could die in a dream(and thus die in real life too) would you be trying to jump off buildings to fly? Would you purposely induce fights? |

If I hadn't made me
I'd be more inclined to bow
Powers that be would have swallowed me up
But that's more than I can allow...

I have also been "hurt" in a dream before. Just last week I had a dream that I was holding onto a very sharp knife (on the blade) while I was talking to someone, it started to cut me but I didn't have the ability to drop the knife. It started to cut me pretty deep and it hurt a lot, I then gained the ability to drop the knife and shortly after I woke up. The exact spot (which was on the side of my pointer finger between it and my thumb) hurt pretty bad, like it was cut, I was still rubbing it for like 10 minutes after as it slowly went away. |

Being shot in a dream is interesting if you havent actually been shot before IRL, I find pain in a dream much more real than pain in real life, maybe I'm just strange, I tend to rarely feel pain in dreams now because of Lucid Dreaming, As I lucid dream alot I have learnt to ignore weapons and pain, or to totally dismiss them all together which means I am invunrable in my normal dreams. |
|
I live to dream because I dream to live.

*listens to Rage Against The Machine - Wake Up* .... the soundtrack of the Matrix! o.o |
|
The only clear diference between LD and the Matrix that i can see is that everyone is linked together, and the fact that the people "living" in the matrix haven't experienced the "real" world, and therefore they treat the matrix as their own reality. |
|
When I first saw the matrix... it weirded me out... |

His heart knows only virtue.
His blade defends the helpless.
His might upholds the weak.
His word speaks only truth.
His wrath undoes the wicked."
Impossible is only that which has yet to be imagined
ya, i get that feelin to sometimes. it creeps me out |
