Inception..are we just living in a dream?

Recently went to go see it.And let me tell you it is one of the most interesting movies I've seen in a while.It was very eye opening and revealing to the senses.A mix of Avatar with a lil spice of the matrix.

"Dreams feel real while we're in them. It's only when we wake up that we realize something was actually strange."



Inception brought up these questions in my mind...
what are dreams?who or what creates them?and why?

For thousands of years, people have believed that dreams were created by supernatural beings and could be used to foretell the future.The ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans thought that dreams were divinely inspired.


The earliest known dream dictionary was produced by the Egyptians,which is known as the Chester Beatty Papyrus. It was written over 4,000 years ago,and is held by the British Museum. The interpretations in the Chester Betty Papyrus were based on the idea that dreams predict the future. The Egyptians had a system of contrary dream interpretation: If you dreamed about something good happening, it meant something bad would happen to you in waking life. Having a nightmare was therefore a sign of good luck.

Ancient Greeks were the first ones to believe the idea that dreams were created by the dreamer,and not by supernatural beings or gods.Some believe that dreams are metaphorical and that we would have to understand the meaning of the symbols in our dreams to decipher the meaning of it.Others believe that dreams express secret desires.But at thee end no one really knows whats behind the secret of the mystery of dreams.

I believe that dreams are another realm of realities in other dimensions which gives us a portal to other worlds of sensations, desires, feelings, self discoveries.
