Sunday, July 18

D.r.e.a.m.s.
Subconsciousness.
Extracting secrets from one during vulnerable sleep
And planting realism within surrealism.


Have you ever tried connecting the storyline with the real world..
Perhaps that was how top secrets got stolen..
How inspirations from the most ingenious creators got leaked out..
How one powerful figure in the business world suddenly changed his mind on the collaborating decisions he made?

Inception left us breathless.
It's a word that really exists.
And it portrays a world that is so paradoxically tangible and undeniable,
An idea that was so successfully planted into the audience minds when they left the cinema..

Inception was first developed by Christopher Nolan, based on the notion of "exploring the idea of people sharing a dream space — entering a dream space and sharing a dream. That gives you the ability to access somebody’s unconscious mind.

In actual fact,
Christopher Nolan was not the first to play around with such lucid dreams..
In most of Shakespeare's plays
Like the hypothesis of the labyrinth of thoughts in Hamlet's cultivated mind..
Or the theme of "dream hath no bottom" to which Midsummer Night's Dream was based on..
This genius of all dramas and plays stirred the concept before, mercilessly.
I thought I saw a resemblance in their preoccupations of the human mind.

The way Nolan tells a story,
The way he played with complex reasoning,
The way he experiments with the complicated maze of human intellect..
It's mind blowing.
Simply a genius thinker like Shakespeare in modern time.
Just look at how he directed The Dark Knight

I'm really impressed by the way he made a comprehensive observation on the human body and behaviour.
How one can never remember how he first got into the dream..
The minute an idea is planted in the mind,
No matter how hard one tries to rid it, it will be fruitless.
The part where the show pulled in the water gushing effects, the gravity defying moments..
Those are not there for nothing.
It's a deft portrayal of how one feels his surroundings of the real life while dreaming.
For instance we felt the need to look for a loo in our dreams if in real life we felt our bladders bursting.
Or we felt we keep grasping for a jacket in our dreams and woke up feeling very cold.

But Nolan also hits us with hard reality..
The inability to differentiate dreams from the real world..
The subconscious mind haunts no matter how much one reconstructs his dream..
The memories that one refused to let go..
Playing those scenes in the mind over and over again..
That is when humans turn mad, become depressed and turn suicidal.

I left the cinema,
Awed and disturbed.
Not because this absolutely intriguing and wholesome notion was hard for me to grasp.
But because..

Photobucket

I experienced that two levels before..
Twice,
I dreamt that I was dreaming and trying desperately to get out of that second dream..
So it's possible for two layers but I'm not sure about four.
And lucid dreams,
I have that all the time..
I believe most people have that all the time.
So it's not difficult for most of us to grasp this..
Just that it scares me when this concept came to modern cinemas..
And someone out there does have the same musing as me.
Seeing this as a movie presented as a brand new dimension in four levels,
It reaffirmed me that I'm not abnormal to have such dreams (pun intended).
I'm really really blown away..

Tuesday, April 20

The most redundant survey I've ever done..
From the University that is infatuated with biased surveys..

Part one was completed two weeks back.
"The study of employee interactions at work"
Now this is part two:
“The working relationship between you and your co worker”

If it’s not for Don’s As..
I would have just dumped it to space.
Even Don says it’s a waste of time.

Now please tell me what’s the difference between guilty and ashamed..
Afraid and scared, nervous and jittery......

Very clever, HAHA.
Try doing a control F type in nervous on the page http://thesaurus.com/browse/jittery

Just for info..
Altruistic is the same as selfless.
Oh I think they forgot to search the thesaurus for the word “help”
