Thread: Waking Life (2001)

This movie is actually what inspired me to get into the dream field. Just curious if anyone else has seen it. (there must a handful) And if you haven't seen it, no worry, the entire movie is posted on Youtube. Just search waking life.

Oh my god, I've been here for four years and I've never even heard of Waking Life, let alone there being a topic about this utterly worthwhile film.

(more were those came from - try the search function on the links bar)

there's a thread somewhere also with recommended books and more movies somewhere on here. Can't remember where, though.

I can think of a couple more - Vanilla Sky and Existenz.

Waking Life is about the only notable film out there that explores lucid dreaming in a vaguely relevant way (as opposed to being used as a plot convenience a la Eternal Sunshine... or Vanilla Sky). Did it honestly not cross your mind before you posted this topic that perhaps one (or twelve) may have existed already, in a forum on lucid dreaming with thousands of topics?

Honestly dude

You're taking this out of proportion, hardcore. And as a matter of fact, i did use our little search thing, i ended getting dumb stuff about vitamins or whatever the hell it was. And i forgot being human was a flipping crime. So why don't you dream up a grenade and go sit on it. Done.

Oh god. We've got ourselves a Philosopher's argument here!
