dreams

How do you know you're not living in a dream right now? Don't be a smart-ass and say "oh because we're not" because we might be and you'd never know it. Dreams are just better realities; they answer the question of shoulda, woulda, coulda.

Inception, as in planting an idea in someone else's mind is, it itself, a dream. Its a way of taking reality and changing it so its still half reality, but planted in a dream. It makes it so you can't tell the difference between what is real and what is fake anymore. Kind of like todays society. But anyway. 

Dreams can be so real when you're experiencing them and the only way to realise its a dream is by waking it. Waking up shows your senses that your dream isn't a reality and that your reality is what you're surrounded by right at that second. But what if the idea/dream of actual inception was real? If you could delve into the mind and plant an idea there - any idea - which would therefore influence that persons decisions from that day on. Its like a more psychological version of your mother. 

What if you could remove an idea? Is that inception? I get a little confused. Whatever. Removing ideas would be essentially 'dream-snatching'. It would once again influence the person and change the course of their dream/idea completely. Its would be such a fantastical skill to be able to change the course of something/someone's life by just removing one single idea or notion or thought or dream.

The reality we're living right at this second, is it really a reality? It could be a reality within a dream, rendering it a dream. It could in fact be reality, but we would never know - how could it be proven? It really couldn't. You could come up to me and tell me that in Inception Cob (or Tom) had that little spinning top/totem thing that he spun and that told him whether it was a dream or not. But how does he know whether he's really in a dream or whether he's in reality. That spinning top could be wrong or how does he know it was right in the first place?

The idea that reality is actually a dream could make it reality. Its a dream that we've made up and maybe we're never waking up from it, making it reality and not a dream.

Reality and dreams are just better and worse versions of one another and they overlap so often that sometimes one just becomes the other and its impossible to tell them apart.

*Just imagine there's a cool image that says "Warning, reality ahead. Things may appear less thrilling from this point on" because the bloody inset picture thing isn't working and I've tried at least 7 times and its annoying me.*


Four things I currently dislike (a lot):
1. My left shoulder blade
2. The photo adding thing on blogger (WHICH ISN'T WORKING)
3. The fact that I have to change my basketball number *glares*
4. Having to choose between basketball training and art *cries*
