Inception, a movie beyond any in terms of creativity, had a beautiful idea of inception defined as planting an idea in an unsuspecting person's mind while he/she is dreaming.
We have to assume that somehow they were able to successfully create the "dream sharing" machine which can get one person's subconscious into the other's while dreaming.
Now, let us start by defining some terms from the basics. By saying conscious, we would mean that a person is aware of his actions. Unconscious means that a person isn’t aware of his actions, for eg: while riding a bicycle, we are not consciously aware of balancing the cycle (after a bit of practice ofcourse!) but yes it is a memory, known as Implicit Memories/Procedural Memories.
Let us analyze the term “idea” in a whole new way, Lets say somehow you get a thought(intuition) which changes the way you behave in the future at some point or the other. Now, after getting the idea, it needs to be stored somewhere (because idea doesn’t vanish and also you just don’t keep processing it all the time that you don’t need memory). So, it can be considere...
Memory is defined as “the faculty by which the mind stores and remembers information” (“Tmesis”, n.d.). Memory is purely mental. Everyone has memories, either pleasant or unpleasant, but they are still there. They are an essential part of who we are and without them, we would struggle to establish our identity. Memory is not only images of the past, but emotions too. They are the main reason a memory is either stored or forgotten.
The conscious mind includes everything that we are aware of, all the information that a person is paying attention to at any given time. When Penny revisits the house and the
Ideas are either innate (inborn or known from one's own nature), adventitious (come from outside me) or made by me.
During the late 80’s, Phil Alden Robinson developed a sensational story that revolved around a real life account of a sport tragedy. The viewers were immersed in a touching account of how sport, a social interest, can play a powerful role in human bonding; thus becoming a very spiritual component of life. It in itself has a profound effect on the societies’ spiritual experiences; and just like religion can respectfully be considered a form of spirituality for a modern society, as exemplified in Robinson’s movie ‘Field of Dreams’. This story resonates far beyond the power of dreams, its appeal lies in a vision of a perfect sport and the love for which can inadvertently resolve issues no matter how grand. The plot at first presents itself as a complex; or maybe even a strange series of events, but somehow its scenes string themselves into a moral about redemption and deep interpersonal bonds.
By executing my earlier proposal on the “text” Inception, a science fiction thriller by Christopher Nolan, I was able to delve deeper into the actual proposal. Inception argues how the mind can be influenced and changed with the smallest thing. The movie as a whole rests on the idea of invading dreams and the mind, hence the name, Inception. The text argues that implanting an idea into someone's mind is the greatest power, since they will believe they generated the idea themselves and act on it. This takes place within both reality and in dreams of the person the “inception” group wishes to invade. A charcoal drawing was created in order to try and represent and argue the idea of Inception.
The word “uncanny” has no singular, correct definition to it. It could mean a multitude of things and can be achieved through various techniques outlined by Sigmund Freud. In volume XVII of The Standard Edition of the Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud, Freud gives many definitions of the word “uncanny” and writes the various mechanisms to achieve an uncanny effect. One such mechanism occurs when the imaginary becomes reality. This technique is showcased in the movie Inception made in 2010 and directed by Christopher Nolan. By blurring the lines between imagination and reality, Nolan is able to pique the viewer’s interests, which causes them to become more invested into the movie.
The unconscious has a huge part in shaping human behavior, yet many overlook the idea behind it. This is an idea that maybe these unconscious behaviors can be used to alter the future or the past mistakes or anything in between for that matter. Everyone dreams at some point in their life and what many people don’t realize is that dreams usually develop from past experiences or from actual occurrences and thoughts. This means that if someone happened to see a guy wearing a cowboy hat with a feather in it, in one of their dreams, they most likely saw this person at some point in their life and may not have even realized it. It is impossible to create a new face in a dream. In Inception (2009), Christopher Nolan portrays Dom Cobb as a special operative whose life mirrors a Freudian psychological reality in which his repressed guilt leads to self-destructive behavior.
Christopher Nolan, the british-american director of the critically acclaimed “Momento” and the most recent “Batman” movies has a fearless mentality for the complicated plots and epic themes which his films bestow. And one of his most epic new thrillers and astonishing new story is his 2010, “Inception.” Over ten years, Nolan had contemplated the idea of a movie around the dream world where action scenes could be manipulated and redoubled continuously. And that time of sitting on the idea led Nolan to dig much deeper into the idea that though before, diving into the realm of dreams within dreams and tiered action within each dream level as they go deeper into the subconscious. In Christopher Nolan’s “Inception,” the main character Cobb remarks, “The mind creates and perceives our world. It does it so well, we don’t realize that we’re doing it.” To tell a story about a man washed up on the shore of his own subconscious, Nolan captivates audiences by propelling them along his non-traditional narratives full of complex themes and intricate story lines. He blurs the lines of reality and dream through parallel editing, set design and architecture. As a result the audience believes whole heartedly the repeated notion that “downward is the only way forward.”
The classic stories “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” and “Through the looking Glass” by Lewis Carroll consist of dreamlike adventures in a crazy world of nonsense. However this nonsense can be deciphered into a complex new system of thinking. This way of thinking can be transferred and directly applied to the mind. How the mind works, its many varying functions, and lastly the unconscious mind can all be tied to Alice. The unconscious mind can be compared to Alice, as can a dreamlike state of mind.
When Inception was released in theaters in 2010, it became popular almost instantly worldwide, grossing over eight hundred million and becoming the forty-fifth highest grossing film of all time. (Mojo) The movie centered around the concept that by using a highly dangerous and newly experimental military technology, users could enter the subconscious of another person and interact with them, labeled “dream sharing”. The idea is intriguing, but the movie itself touched audiences with more than just special effects. Director Christopher Nolan also stated he preferred to do as much as possible in camera with props and physical effects, leaving CGI as a final step to fill in the blanks.
Ideas are what the mind is thinking of when something happens. Human minds know ideas not objects. George Berkeley discusses idea from the eye of the perceiver. We perceive ordinary objects such as houses, mountains and etc. We perceive only ideas therefore implying that ordinary objects are ideas. Through objects and things we are able to experience having ideas. The ideas represent external material objects which allows us to perceive them. According to Berkeley "esse est percipi" which translates to “to be is to be perceived" (Stanford, 2014). The existence of an idea cannot be separated from what is being perceived. If an idea or object is not perceived, then it does not exist. By sight I have the thoughts of light and hues with their few degrees and varieties. By touch I see and feel how hard and delicate, warmth and chilly, movement and resistant something is. Anything that we cannot perceive with our senses doesn 't exist. The soul cannot be perceived. However I wouldn 't go so far as to say "realize and recognize its presence." I think that instead of taking the literal approach that it could be extended to things that we do not yet know are there and yet are capable of being perceived "one day."
If every human being were to become a frequent lucid dreamer, the world’s culture, art, technology, medicine and even science would quickly develop in a whole new direction. Consider if every inventor suddenly had a breakthrough about a new invention through lucid dreaming or if every artist suddenly began producing subconsciously inspired artwork. Imagine if every scientist could abruptly solve advanced problems that had left them stumped. If people had access to lucid dreams and used them in a productive capacity, the world would tap into a greater power within. Unfortunately, there is much speculation placed on the notion of lucid dreaming despite the numerous scientific experiments made to prove its existences.
Ideas are man's thoughts. They are fainter copies of impressions, and so they are images in the imagination that are remembered.
Conscious Mind – Conscious mind is the objective or the thinking mind. It has no memory, and it can only hold one thought at a time. Your conscious mind functions very much like a binary computer, performing two functions: It accepts or rejects data in making choices and
