Good term and good application of it =O. Never really thought about it for movies. Someone I know has a really big problem with this and always says in the middle of a movie "No way that could happen"

The precepts of doublethink holding both the ideas of being in reality and not being in reality at the same time. In the prefect scenario, you never lose that tie to the knowledge that it is all a dream.

I recommend reading 1984. It's a really good book and you get a good understanding of the doublethink mindset.

By self-doubt, I didn't mean to doubt your abilities. Never that. But rather a need to doubt your perception of reality as it is applied to the reality you are in. A doubt of "how real reality is" by doubting your perceptions of it.

Thanks all for your thoughts =)
