for those who have seen vanilla sky, (it's my favourite movie) if you were in david's position... and your life as you once knew it had been ruined...
would you kill yourself to live in a lucid dream? knowing that you were about to step into a world that wasn't real? would the guarantee of happiness and love and all that you ever wanted be tempting enough to end your life and live in a dream instead?

that movie messed with my head
sometimes I worry that I've died and I've gone into a lucid dream.
yes that is one of my weirder quirks.

its best not to think about it, otherwise you start worrying that your dead, and then you start trying to remember any situation that might have killed you.

would you kill yourself to live in a lucid dream? I've never seen the film, but drowning is supposedly the best way to go - well at least the most calming. |

apparently you hallucinate (sp?) when you drown maybe it would be cool if you saw something cool, like teh bolly, but scary if you saw Nicky Webster. speaking of said teen poptart its strange she hasnt popped up on Ozphoria, seeing as she was such an active poster on the O board.  |

(i'm 99% sure you've got fox right?) you should catch it if you happen to be in front of the tv at the time |

yes, soundtrack rocks suits the scenes very well. okay, my opinion on my question. i guess when i asked the question, i didn't really have an answer. i have three perspectives. persepective one:if my life had been ruined as david's had, my life wouldn't be worth living. david was in constant searing pain. he lost all his confidence. he lost sofia. he lost his happiness. he was on the verge of losing his job, and lifestyle. he withdrew from life, because of the physical and emotional pain. so, taking all of this into account... if i had lost everything, my life as i know it, everything i love... and i was in constant pain, and constantly wishing that things were back the way they were... i would kill myself. no lucid dream... none of this living a dream. it's not real, why would you want to pretend it is? why experience something that's not real? why don't we live in virtual reality if that's the case? in a way, the whole idea is disgraceful. can you imagine, like vic said, if you were told, and were presented with proof that your life hasn't really occurred. all the people around you, aren't real. they're only there because you needed them to be. perspective two:i guess you could try and live through it. try and keep hope that things could improve. medically. emotionally. socially. career-wise etc. perspective three:go with the lucid dream. if you can experience happiness again after the terrible things that have happened, and you've had a taste of, then why not? who cares if it's not real, you don't want to be cheated out of your life, so why not just live it in your head instead. it's not hurting anybody. |
