I just wish inception was good.

Actually did this once. Found out I couldn't read a billboard behind the person I was talking to, whoever that was. Told him to wait a second, ran off, and started flying around til I woke up. Just a fluke. Shame there isn't a method besides keeping a dream diary. I always wake up too damned groggy to remember even wanting to keep one.

>>71818227
Yes. Bad filmmaking

If it was it's laughable how Christopher Nolan doesn't understand anything and he is an incompetent FUCK I have ever seen!!

No, it was a metaphor for OCD. Think about it, then press the T on your keyboard 12 times or your Mother will die of cancer in the next 6 months.

Nice.

I actually tried to train myself to lucid dream but was never able to do it willingly.

Then one time I just remember driving in the backseat of a car. The driver was an old friend from high school and the passenger was my best friend's 8th grade girlfriend. That must have tipped me off because all of a sudden my chest started blowing up like a balloon and then I woke up.

Not sure if I ever want to do it again.

try this next time you think you might be dreaming try doing something impossible but not dangerous like walk through a wall, or use the force or something, try and fly from the ground, if it works your dreaming, enjoy

Sounds like a lucid fucking nightmare.

I managed to lucid dream at will once, but it took too much effort and patience and I couldn't do it again. It was amazing to fly around inside my own procedurally generated world, I flew past forests and oceans, everything was so beautiful.

>>71818227

No, it was about video games. It even had the obligatory snow level.

Already posted in that one thread that had a pic that permanently disabled every post like this, past, present, and future. Immunity cat is no longer needed.
>>
>>71818384
Problem here is I never think I'm dreaming, awake or asleep.

>>71818410
It's a hell of a feeling, it really is.
>>
>>71818298
I haven't lucid dreamed but I have flying dreams all the time. shit is always so goddamn hard to control
just the other night I was flying, not like just by myself I was trying to fly a plane under a bridge and crashed that shit
>>
>>71818255
trust me, no you don't.

>>71818227
yea, it was. not exactly subtle either.
>>
>>71818227

No, it was just the American version of Paprika
>>
>>71818481
I always get dragged towards the ground, I know i'm dreaming most of the time so I just keep 'swimming' up basically sometimes it works mostly I crash into highrises
>>
>>71818227

It was a metaphor for Kino.
>>
>>71818468

Other than the part where she broke the mirror, I didn't really feel this. Paprika and Inception were similar stories told in wildly different ways. Kon considered just going with the flow of and learning to maneuver in your dreams. Inception was all about literally programming and laying out a dream world through some kind of subconscious modification.

Now Black Swan. That was literally an American version of Perfect Blue. Aronofsky even bought the rights to it so he wouldn't get sued. He even threw in the scene where all of the pictures of her came to life and started fucking with her.
>>
This movie would be a lot better if they changed half the cast
>>
>>71818714
I mean he even gave Hershlag's character an almost identical name: Nina, instead of Mima
>>
no, a metaphor for life/universe
>>
>>71818774
Even better. This isn't why he bought the rights. That was for Requiem for a Dream, when he really wanted to use the bathtub scene from Perfect Blue.

It's a metaphor for shamelessly ripping off a 15 year old Don Rosa comic.
>>
>>71819041
My negro, weebs always complain that they ripped off Paprika while Rosa wrote about it back in '02

Jesus. I dunno whether I want to praise him for actually paying for the right to just lift scenes from movies he liked or decrying him for wanting to lift scenes in the first place.

He's a fucking hack either way.
>>
Yes.
>>
>>71818277
It was technically good and (in my opinion) easily enjoyable.
You're just letting memes tell you how to react.
