Inception

Nice. What I've been able to make of the lightswitch thing is this. It's a misconception that you can't change light levels, that has nothing to do with it. It's the act of setting a chain reaction in motion, and expecting unseen factors to carry out something completely unrelated. (Flicking your finger against a small lever/The room becomes brighter). These factors only become a problem when you rely on their existence. For example, I drive in my dreams sometimes. But the moment I notice this, I start carrying out the details, rather than just driving. I try to shift gears, accelerate, etc. The function breaks down, and I either can't shift gears, or the car won't speed up, etc. My point is that you can make anything happen, it's all in how you go about it. If you're on that very light level of dreaming, you can probably do anything (turn down the stereo, drive, etc) because you're not trying to set mechanisms in motion, you're just believing that it's happening because you expect it to. I'm having a hard time articulating exactly what I mean, I hope this makes sense. I'm no expert, I think that's painfully obvious. I've just been fascinated with lucid dreaming and dreaming as a whole since I was six years old, and I've devoted a lot of effort and thought to it over the years.

Villemar[The Matrix trilogy and Waking Life were on the list, but also rewatched others in that genre including Jacob's Ladder, Mulholland Drive, Dark City, The Thirteenth Floor, Brazil, Synecdote NY, Vanilla Sky, The Truman Show, A Scanner Darkly, Solaris, and I'm sure others that I can't think of off the top of my head.]

Nice list! Some of my faves are on there. Did you hit Lost Highway? And Total Recall, in all its campy glory, is a very good "what's real" movie.

I'd also really recommend the old series "The Prisoner," that's where the whole Neo/#6 idea comes from.
