      Inception - A movie about Lucid Dreaming

      “I've always been fascinated by dreams – really, by the idea that when you think about what a dream is, what the mind is doing during a dream, the mind is creating a world and perceiving it almost simultaneously," - Christopher Nolan






      First impressions? Extremely excited.

      We at the Tech Team are currently discussing how to spread Lucid Dreaming to other sites, and with this movie coming up, it may help spread the Dream Views name around by adding links to various fan sites and Wikipedia pages linked to Inception.

      I don't really know much about the plot of the story, but I believe it is about stealing people's dreams. Leonardo DiCaprio is an "extractor", or dream hacker, whose job is "subconscious security." His job is to protect the dreams and ideas of entrepreneurs, creators, and inventors from the bad guys.

      Here are some links to some articles on the movie:
      http://www.comicbookresources.com/?p...ticle&id=25559
      http://io9.com/5508968/christopher-n...yline=true&s=i

      I can not wait for this to come out. I can only hope that don't get all soft with the Dream Scenes.

      If you have any info to add, feel free to do so.

      It looks real good. I can't wait.

      And yea, it will be based around lucid dreaming.
      Well, I remember reading something about how the writer used his knowledge of lucid dreaming a lot to be able to do it... or something.

      Interesting!

      The clip where the city bends like a wave, very trippy 8D
      And hell yes for spreading the word!

      the news reports on the radio said it was getting worse
      as the ocean air fanned the flames
      but i couldn't think of anywhere i would have rather been
      to watch it all burn away

      The weird thing is, if the guy is lucid, why the heck isn't he doing awesome stuff, and why is he using a shitty pistol, rather than some big ass fucking gun?

      I dunno, there must be something about it stopping him from being able to do stuff. I suppose, he is in other people's dreams... maybe the dreamer creates the rules...

      I dunno, I need to see this thing.
      I certainly hope it isn't too far off what lucid dreaming should be like. Especially seeing as the writer apparently used his knowledge in lucid dreaming.

      When I saw the name of this movie I instantly thought it was gonna be a movie about pregnancies or something. And now I can't shake the thought. So a movie about pregnancies might be cool you never know.

      Now I need to find someone interested in seeing this or wait till it comes out on DVD :<

      It has spread a lot, I remember seeing links to dreamviews on wowofftopic ( warcraft ) and discussions about LDing always got deleted for some reason
      if you can read this then you are about to be punched

      This looks interesting

      That would be fucking funny if it showed one of the characters going on dreamviews and maybe using our website to help solve what ever problem there is XD

      Yeah anyway, the problem I think there could be is that movies that had lucid dreaming in it, didn't do too well. Vanilla Sky has poor ratings, Waking Life isn't a big production. It seems to only be movies that has lucid dreaming in disguise (The Matrix, Avatar).

      But if it has Leo in it, it should at least attract quite a few newbies here.

      Yea, inception will be different from those things. When it has a famous and loved actor in it and hype is built enough, and they make a good job of it, they will do well with it. And will certainly bring a lot of people to have interest in LDing.

      That is if they do good with the lucid dreaming scenes and not half-ass it.

      I mean, the trailer shows a city being folded together, but you never know.

      Heck, if a city being folded in half is the highlight of the movie, I'd still go see it.
      I'm back!

      Oh, I just realised... They might make an Inception Game. That would be fucking awesome.

      It would be a better lucid dreaming game than that shitty "Lucidity" or whatever you call it.

      Probably not what you would expect really. It'd probably just re-enact things that were in the movie during cutscenes.

      Hopefully the game would actually relate to the story. Not like watching the movie Spiderman then playing the game... like 3 of around 84 of the missions relate to the movie.

      Or they could go out of their way to make a game that's not related to the movie and just about Lucid Dreaming.

      A giant Sand Box game like Garrys Mod but bigger and better.

      Yea, I suppose. But when it comes to something like Inception, you would want as much freedom as possible, and not restricted to only what happens in the film.

      You both bring a good point.

      As long as they don't put that tired cliché plot prop where if you die in your dream then you die in real life. That is what I didn't like about the Matrix. You can totally die in your dreams and not die in real life. I am excited to see.

      It sounds like this movie will have strong aspects of shared dreaming as well, since they're entering other peoples' dreams. I'm really looking forward to seeing it. When I was talking to some people about this before someone mentioned the possibility of this movie starting a lucid dreaming craze. Loads of people asking google if they can actually control their dreams.

      If anybody came into my dream and tried to take control they would have the fight of their life!

      Looks like it will be awesome provided they've done their research regarding dreams and shared dreaming.

      Imagine what'll happen when they hear about shared dreaming...
