Death By CultureMy Inception
POSTED BY VINNIE BLESI, January 16, 2011    Share


For the past few years I have been studying and trying to practice lucid dreaming. The idea of awakening within a dream and becoming a participant rather than an observer intrigues the hell out of me. There is also the Buddhist concept that awakening within your dreams is one path to enlightenment.

Of course there are dreams, such as endlessly stocking the shelf at the local grocery store, that are being manipulated by the hunky Leonardo DiCaprio and the nubile Ellen Page, that happen to run 20 minutes too long and could use some editing. There is the dream within a dream within a dream that could have been successfully carried off by Alfred Hitchcock.

Somehow I have seen the special effects in a previous dream, or maybe it was all in the trailer.

Then there is the dream, however implausible, where different warring factions of mankind are fighting each other from different overpasses of a superhighway, and I am the hero of level four. And then I awaken to find that it was all a dream and I am back into DiCaprio's looping dream.

Then I wake up, or do I? Maybe I wasn't in Inception after all, only in a Dreamscape.

"All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream." Edgar Allen Poe
