after watching the movie, I was thinking how much reality is in
our own dreams. sometimes when we dream we can relate so much in our every
day life. What can dream tell us. Why do we dream, and why sometimes we
have nice dreams, sometimes my dreams have being in color, and long time ago
I could continue with the same dreams the fallowing days, sometimes up to
two days. Why the nightmares. The nightmares for me are like the problems
we have sometimes in our life, sometimes thru dreams we can be aware on
things that could happend or will be happend, is like when we have an
intuition, when we feel someting but we can explain, or there is this
feeling that don't allow us say what we are feeling, until it happend. The
way a see this movie was that this guy didn't wanted to continue dreaming
because he was the only one knowing the reallity of his dreams, and he was
afraid of dreaming something that could harmed others especialliy the ones
that he love, and he taught that by using something that could help him stay
awake, he could overpower this. Then he gets help from this psychiatric who
could control his dreams in a way that he didn't feel this anxiaty and guilt
on dreaming something that could hurt or do some kind of destruction and not
be able to change it what became a reallity, but this doctor under the use
of hypsosis he find out that his dreams could do changes, and insted of
helping he wanted to control his dreams to change things his way. If other
people could have the same access of this doctor other people could also
change things their way, since every body has a different way of seing
things from one other. I wonder if this actually be possible what will
happend with Humanity and the world. what I am confuse is that every time
he dreamed, he was in a complete different situation, but still in his
subconscious those hidden thoughts, those feeling that he had but, he didn't
know why they were in his mind.
