Dreamscapes

I finally got around to seeing Inception last night, and it was indeed awesome.  My enthusiasm couldn't even be dampened by the all-too-familiar glazed eyed expression I received when I tried to tell Geoff about it when I got home.  It was fast-paced and expertly put together to keep the audience in the loop as to what was going on simultaneously in each dream world.  The various twists at the end were amazing.

My favorite parts were those where they had to interact with each others' subconscious projections, even fighting with their own.  The idea of what something or someone represents to us on an unconscious level is fascinating to me.  I really liked The Cell and What Dreams May Come for the same reasons.  Where are we in our minds, when we dream?  Who are we in the stories of our lives?  Am I the hero or the villain, or just a bystander?  Who are my allies and who is my nemesis, if I have any of either?

Just more evidence of my dream obsessions...
