Yesterday I picked up the DVD of the movie 'Inception', one of the most thought -provoking movies I have seen so far. Ever since I saw the movie, I was waiting to own the DVD, pretty much like my obsession for Harry Potter. I am not a big fan of Sci-Fi movies, but this one grabbed my attention because apart from the awesome visuals, gripping screen play , it explores the psycho-physical nature of dreaming, one of my latest obsessions.
The movie is based on the concept of philosophical pragmatism, which bases its core on the concept that if there are consequences to what we believe then what we believe is true. Our perceptions then become the reality.
And what are our perceptions? They are grounded in the world that we live in, the things we see, touch, feel, hear and all this forms a fantastic concoction that becomes our core reality.
We are all dreamers, dreaming within dreams at times, like in the movie. But why is my dream unique to me, what is triggering this dream in my sub-conscious. Freud in his theories said that dreams are a manifestation of what the sub-conscious human mind desires and wants. Our dreams have symbolic representation of certain archetypes, that play pivotal roles in our lives. But are these sub-conscious archetypes affecting only our dreams, or our everyday lives.
We move on in our lives, and change with each passing day, and our past memories get archived as we move along making new memories. But do they fade, or do they become a part of our dreams? It takes a whiff of Davidoff to conjure up our deepest desire to own and relive and recreate the past in our dreams.
