Lucid dreaming and Inception

Lucid dreaming is when one is dreaming and knows that they are dreaming. This topic interests me because it reminds me of a couple of my dreams. What was interesting was that most of the time when I have lucid dreams, I was able to control my dreams. From the readings I would fall into the 72% who can control what is happening in their dreams.

This topic also reminds me of the movie Inception. I don't want to give away too much of the story but, the characters in this story can control their dreams and doing so, they can also live in their dreams. The catch is that it wouldn't become real in the real world, and one can possibly die from going into too many dreams. I would be fascinating if we were to be able to do such thing. How would science describe that in the real world? If everyone were to have such powers to control and even live in their dreams would they take the risks knowing the consequences?

But I am sure everyone has at least experienced one lucid dream before have they?

I love the movie Inception. Every time I watch I catch a new point in the plot that I had missed the first time. I think it would be really cool if we could experience other people's dreams, and the idea of implanting ideas in other people seems to be very dangerous.

I am one of those people that rarely if ever remember that they dreamed upon waking much less what the dream was about. I thought this blog post was great and made great use of the movie clip.
