I thought that perhaps Christopher Nolan had performed inception on me and that I might start having dreams about the movie. Surprisingly, it hasn’t happened. Mal hasn’t jumped out to kill me … yet.
But I have started to feel like I’ve been hallucinating – or in a dream – a little bit more often than usual. Almost as soon as I left the theater, I feel like a pedestrian came out of nowhere and walked in front of my car. A projection? Doubtful.
And then there was the other day when I was reading my book out in the sunshine. A cloud had covered up the sun for a little while, but then I felt those rays hitting me with their fiery Houston intensity. I looked up and saw the cloud – moving in the opposite direction as if it had just done a 180. A paradox? Perhaps.
No one try to shoot me to wake me up or anything. Now I know all these weird moments from here on out I will blame on “Inception.”
I looked at my clock, and it was 12 in the afternoon. I looked back a second later, and it was 3 in the afternoon. Turns out, I feel asleep.
*…*
I have had odd, memorable, dreams ever since I saw the movie. However its probably just my subconscious, considering during parts of my first viewing of “Inception,” I kept thinking “I wish my dreams were this cool….”
Hold on Neo, make sure to take the red pill and come back to us!
