Thread: What is the point?

But the very fact that you can make yourself fly in a dream means it no longer has any meaning or deeper purpose. Your subconcious is no longer expunging itself of anything.

What I mean by inspiration is that something happens to inspire. There is no way the ability to shoot fireballs out of my hands and fly would make me being trapped in a mechanics garage with zombies all around as inspired. In my dreams I am still human, I am not superhuman in any way. And because of this, the impact of my dreams is far more severe. Because I conciously experience these things instead of conciously controlling these things, they become memories for me. I remember dreams from 20 years ago. If the dream is impactful I do not forget it and thus, the images and emotions stick with me. If every dream is simply running amuk on a playground, what makes them significant in anyway? As someone who wants to enter the world of filmmaking, specifically horror, these experiences will limitlessly help me. Considering about half my dreams either are or end up as nightmares, it's an endless stream of inspiration. And there is nothing more frightening then something you can't understand or control.

Christopher Nolan learned to Lucid Dream when he was a teenager, and he still practices it. Where do you think he got much of his inspiration for Inception from? And horror usually deals with the supernatural. You could use your lucidity to test ideas for movies that you have.
