How many of us watched Leonardo di Caprio's "Inception". That movie is too
, well apparently all his movies are top notched. Anyway I had a flash back of the movie and that prompted me to put this up. Have you ever had an experience in
which you couldn’t be sure whether
things were real or not? I am not
referring to normal dreams, day dreaming or sleepwalking. These particular ones I am referring to seem real at the time and then you wake up and realise that they weren’t. I mean experiences which are more deeply confusing
As a matter of fact very confusing!!
A false awakening may involve getting up, having breakfast, getting dressed, heading out for work... all the things you do every day on autopilot. It appears so real and solid to warrant
questioning its authenticity.
Indeed, you will only appreciate
how real a false awakening is when it happens to you - it reveals the remarkable capacity of the human brain to emulate and question reality.
Sometimes in such experiences you may be very convinced that you have done all sorts of things when really you have not. For example, you probably attended a dreaded interview and scaled through, only to find out it was a mirage.
The intriguing part about this is that you get the same feelings of tension and anxiety as you would have felt doing the same event in reality.
The red flag here is that you would have to go through that same feeling of tension and anxiety or feeling of pleasure and gratification all over again. Depending on what the dream was about. I prefer the latter tho
So let's discus!!
Share your experiences and your thoughts.
