Inception - the beginning of an undertaking

At the heart of the film Inception seems to be the messages

• ideas are powerful, they have deep roots in our psyche and they shape our being
• ideas are dangerous, they can kill you
• you cannot change someone's mind easily, you must delve deep into their being to do so
• you must overcome the ghosts that haunt you to achieve your goal
• whose dream are you in?

There were probably lots more things to think about, lots more to 'get', but in amongst all that cleverness, 'bourne identity' feeling action and multi-level conciousness I lost myself a bit and came out of the film feeling dizzy, nauseaous and uncomfortable, I felt a little paranoid, like Alice in Wonderland perhaps.

Thinking about concepts and ideas, being in my head a lot, it makes me feel disorientated, I can loose confidence in myself and my judgements, it can be too ephemeral and each thing that I grasp at to find stability or direction, disolves or disappears. At times like these I am reminded to be here now. To re-focus on now, this moment, here - what my real senses are really experiencing in this moment.....Is this like forgetting?....or are films like Inception designed to make you forget?
