recent dreams
this has nothing to do with inception.
It has been going on for a while, about half a year. I was thinking before that, of where my dreams had went to. Before march, I had a period when I couldnt remember no dreams. But suddenly it came back. There are a lot of dreams, mostly strange ones.
But a number of them are of me missing my exams, oversleeping for my IB papers. Indeed, many of them are about missing exams. There is even one where I lost my glasses so I had problems seeing the question properly. There was one dream which depicts me getting confined by my course instructor in OCS, for not locking my locker.
For all these dreams I could trace back the grain of inspiration from which they blossomed. It is easy, but again, my be post-situational analysis, meaning that, could be anything.
Some dreams can be controlled. Sometimes these dreams were interrupted by the realization of the sheer impossibility. And from that point on, it became a lucid dream. I start to find ways to exit the dream, by putting myself in an 'agape' situation, such as jumping off the ship, sliding the car into the wall (i can't drive yet), and once jumping head-first into the ground. Half the time it works. It happens when I start to realize I'm dreaming, and when that happens it becomes daydreaming, and hence, it's easier to wake up.
In the cases when I wake up from these strangely wtf unpleasant dreams, I will gasp and breathe deeply, just to so called make sure I'm awake. Yes it sounds like inception when DiCaprio spins the top, but don't you see that it parallels a lot? Say, when waking up from a really horribly vivid dream, you touch yourself, and you make your senses acute so to gather a picture of your surroundings and correspond it to your last memory of it before you close your eyes to sleep?
Strange thing about dreams is that they are an alternate reality. I will not say it is not real because it is an inspired experience. Maybe the 'realness' of the dream is controlled by the exposition and development of the inspiration in our brains. Shit, there is too much to talk about. I shall stop about the real part here.
Back to the alternate reality thing. In the dream everything feels real to you. You have no idea that you are in one until you wake up. And once you do, you will throw all the feelings or so called knowledge you have in the dream out of the window. For the simple reason that it is a 'dream' and it is not real to you. But what if the dream is weaved through the interaction of character, subconsciousness, mental tendencies and inspiration? Isn't that very very real?
So instead of throwing dreams out of the window and laughing at the total ridiculousness of the dream you just had, why not take it out and reflect? It's very much like a book, which you are the author of, isn't it? What better if it is so raw and unpolished? Won't you see a facet of truth you would not see for the hours you are awake?
How about daydreaming?
Gosh there is so much to explore.
