Conception

Another movie that really blows my mind is Inception.  That movie is such an amazing idea.  It’s even a little upsetting because it makes me wonder how someone could every come up with something like controlling someone through their dreams, because I sure as hell couldn’t.  But it presents an interesting idea—the force or impact that our dreams have on our lives.  I don’t know how many times I’ve had a dream about something I’ve been thinking really hard about and taken the result of that dream as a sign or warning.  Maybe that’s stupid or crazy—but I don’t think I’m alone in having had that happen.  I think dreams are really, essentially, our subconscious telling us our true feelings.  As much as I hate to do it, I have to reference Tess here.  After Tess’ husband, Angel, learns of her impurity, he totally shuts her out.  But at one point in the novel, he sleepwalks over to Tess and demonstrates his true feelings for her.  Therefore, the sleeping Angel was more real and true to himself than the awake Angel.
