Dreams: Inception vs. Reality [CHART]
Inception's dream sequences are awesome. But as much as we'd all like to pretend our head is filled with car chases and aggressive ass kicking, there are some subtle differences between what the movie shows us and what most of us see when our brains shut down at night.

Mal wasn't Cobb's ex-wife, though, just his wife
ReplyI'd say the fact that she died kind of leads to the end of the relationship.
I dreamed I was in an out of control vehicle. I almost ran over people but it just wouldn't stop. Maybe I it means I need to play GTA again.
ReplyI can never remember my dreams after having them. Even nightmares so intense i wake up are forgotten in a second.
ReplyI loved the punch line
Replylast night i dreamt i was in elder srcolls.......
ReplyMost of my dreams consist of things like eating a bowl of cereal or falling over. Not off a building or anything, just tripping and falling.
ReplyLooks like Cracked's writers need to learn to dream better... =P
Replyi once had a dream i was god, i controlled everything that happened in the dream
Replycool. cool cool cool.
My personal favorite dream was a sort of software gangland. For some reason, I was hanging out at Microsoft HQ, and having a conversation with Bill Gates that made it seem like he was a mob boss and I was one of his captains. He was talking about his new product and how to go about getting it on the market, as I replied with things like "The kids are gonna eat this new OS up, see". Then, out of nowhere, Steve Jobs and some Apple goons show up in a '28 Packard, Jobs waving a Tommy gun around like a madman. He then starts telling us that Redmond is his turf now, just as a bunch of Gates' goons storm out of the building and a crazy firefight ensues. At this point, I get caught in the firefight, and the shock of being shot wakes me up, which kinda pissed me off, because I really wanted to see where my brain was going to go with this one.
ReplyCool story bro.
I've been practicing lucid dreaming for a year now.

Its crazy. When I try to transform elements of the dream, all the peripherals blur, and it feels like I'm being sucked out of the dream into the vacuum of space.
for the guy above... to avoid that, try doing a "dream spin" (i got it from this lucid site called dreamviews dot org)- its when you look at your feet, and start spinning in circles in the dream. For some reason that focuses you back to being lucid. I tryed it, it works...
Seriously? Where can I find out how to practice doing this? It's so amazing when this happens!
Also you can actually acquire and learn new skills and knowledge while lucid dreaming. They did research to prove it!
I once had a mildly interesting dream that I think everyone should hear about.
ReplyProbably not. But I would recommend actually practicing your dreams because they can be more relaxing than anything you do awake.
They had a really good thing going there, and wasted it by over-using the caught in your underwear joke. I once had a dream wherein I accidentally blew myself up with dynamite, then had to ask passersby to kindly bring all of my parts together and get me to a surgeon. I was literally a face lying on the ground, seeing all of my limbs and ears and whatnot lying around. Oddly, this didn't really hurt all that much, but I was worried that some of my parts might get stepped on or blow away before I got them all gathered up, what with having no hands with which to collect them.
ReplyOne time, I dreamed that I was flying through the air (flying is hard) being chased by these other guys. I flew over a football field where a parade was taking place and a horse started choking. So I started falling out of the sky, landed on the horse, and the horse stopped choking. Then I flew away as everyone cheered. It was sweet.
ReplyFlying is hard. Hard to maintain I find anyways.
Anyone else here ever had that dream where your brain burst out of your head and forces itself into someone else's mouth then taking over their body?
ReplyYou, sir, are a member of the Flood. I will be blowing you up with a plasma gun or a shotgun shortly.
lolol
ReplyI must have an incredible dream world compared to everyone else on this planet based off this chart...
Thanks, I needed a massive ego boost like that... Finding out I might be the descendent of a royal blood line wasn't nearly enough.
I had a dream that I was playing TF2. I was the Pyro, and a Scout ran up and buttraped me. I felt the whole thing.
ReplyI can't even have a good video game dream without getting violated. I fail.
That was me. Outside events can influence your dreams.
I had a dream where I was fighting a bunch of ninjas using Frankie Muniz as a sword. I was CUTTING NINJAS IN HALF WITH FRANKIE MUNIZ! I woke up feeling awesome.
Replyyou sliced them in half with malcom in the middle lolz
Made of Win

Replywhy not? she dead boay. It's til death we part. So that's when the contract is void, im a free man baby wooohooo. Lol i remember a curb your enthusiasm episode where he didnt want to renew vows taht said "til eternity" with his wife cause he thought he could do better than her in heaven lol
Dead wives are referred to as late wives, not ex-wives.
my dreams (that i remember) tend to be horrifying shitfests of monsters attacking me
ReplyEver since I watched Pulp Fiction for the 7th time, I keep dreaming that I'm Vincent getting off the toilet in Butch's apt. after taking that very unlucky s**t and getting capped in the face. On the bright side, the book he was reading is pretty interesting. Huh.
ReplyVincent Vega: When his s**t goes down, s**t goes down.
