About a week ago I watched the movie Inception with my family. This is one of my favorite movies. It really is a thought provoking movie. It forces you to think on a higher level. Could this movie ever happen in real life? Probably not. Nonetheless, it got me thinking about life.
Have you ever wondered if life is all one big dream? In the movie Leonardo Di Caprio explains that when dreaming, the brain consistently creates the dream and perceives the dream. It does this so well that we cannot even tell its happening. It is like we are discovering the dream for the first time. What if life is really just you and as far as your eye can see. What if the world, beyond what you perceive at the moment, just ceases to exist. What if the only thing that was real was your own little bubble that you live in. The people we see each and every day are just creations of our minds. What if our brain is just creating a world and we just perceive it? This may not make sense because it is a hard idea to convey. Lets put it this way. Imagine youre in a room with your family. They all seem like they exist but lets say you leave the room and cannot see them anymore. What if they ceased to exist when we couldnt perceive them with our senses? What if the world outside of what we could grasp with our senses was not there?
This may not make a lot of sense and obviously it has its flaws but its an idea I thought I would share as my first post.
