"Inception" - Some mind boggling concepts in this 2010 film...

The movie INCEPTION (2010, IMBD) is one of my most favorites. The action scenes are nice but the biggest merits lie in the thought-provoking ideas that expand the mind. Here are 5 comments about Inception:

1. Moving from one dimension to the other is absolutely possible. However, the deepest level "Inception"'s heroes manage to go to is the subconscious level of the dreamer. This dimension, by far, is merely scratching the outskirt of the near earth dimensions. Further explorations would bring the dreamer to the deep ether-space of the known existence.
2. The tools that the dreamers used to move between the dream-world stages are artificial drugs. At some point in the movie, it was mentioned that using such drugs for so long damages the natural ability of the body/mind to dream. And indeed so. Dreaming is and should be a natural process. Any artificial substance not only destroys the neurological paths in the brain but basically doesn't achieve much and is limited. See comment number 1 above.
3. Projections within the dream scenery are genuine. However, not all projections are hazardous and intend to harm the aware dreamer. Having said that, when natural dreaming is allowed all aspects of the personality are being worked on and processed, and only when the inner work is completed the dreamer reaches a safe space and allowed to further explore their dream activity. Any premature attempt might result in frightening encounters with unfriendly projections, just like inception shows.
4. Once again it is shown that the best or sole motive for any human deed is love. A good love story expands beyond this world, literally. Another important moral that was hinted upon is the concept of releasing. Only when the hero, cast by Lenorado DiCaprio was able to release the bogus images of his late wife, created by his feelings of shame and blame, he was able to become free.
5. And the dreidel is still spinning…
