SO I’m thrilled to say I saw INCEPTION tonight for my 30th birthday at IMAX.
Verdict?
It was pretty awesome.
In fact, I’d say this is the best film that’s come along that is specifically about dreams and the architecture of the dreaming mind since Vanilla Sky was released in 2001.
Instead of a movie review, I just want to bring up some points of the film that intrigue me. If you’ve not seen the movie, I don’t know if you will want to read any further!
…still with me?
OK, here we go!

Something funny happens when I read books on lucid dreaming:
I have more lucid dreams.
It wasn’t but a day or two into reading Robert Waggoners new book, Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self
, that I found myself experiencing more lucidity in my dreams.
(And hey – not a problem. I will gladly trade waking myself up at all hours of the night in an attempt to induce lucidity for reading a great book on lucid dreaming. )
Other themes from Waggoners book began making their way into my dreams, too – especially how I thought about my dream . . . → Read More: Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self – 3 Questions for author Robert Waggoner

New Scientist published an interesting article today titled Swapping Your Body Becomes a Virtual Reality.
It wasn’t too long ago that researchers published results suggesting how capable the brains is at projecting an Out of Body experience, using similar techniques with camera goggles attached to a person’s face giving them a view originating elsewhere. (Read the old news article on this story here.)
But in this case, the subjects weren’t tricked into having the sensation that their consciousness was outside their body in a point in space, but that another body was their body. In this case, it was a mannequin.

Okay maybe this is stupid to post on my blog but I think it was semi-amusing. A guy in London claims he woke up with a phone number in his head and decided to send it a text message. Long story short he ends up marrying the individual who had the phone number and it all started with him dreaming up the number.

So I got the “What the Bleep Do We Know?” DVD set for Christmas.
If you’ve not seen the movie, it’s about how we are all creators of of own reality. This idea is promoted with a blend of mysticism and quantum physics wrapped around a story of a woman coming to terms with her life, all spliced together between interviews with physicists and new age gurus.
The box set has 6 hours of extended interviews and that’s mainly why I wanted to own it.
Right now, I’ve just finished watching the interview with “Ramtha”, AKA JZ Knight AKA a woman who channels Ramtha, . . . → Read More: Ramtha & JZ Knight: What the BLEEP is that all about!?
