QFT, however Mythbusters has proven that you can, in fact, polish a turd.

I'll be happy to have Inception on a nice 2d blu-ray. I'm confident that if Christopher Nolan would have wanted it in 3d, he'd have made it that way.

Since I'm a real lucid dreamer I found this movie terribly stupid. But if they make it into 3D I'll buy it anyway. There is one scene that I really liked.

I want to become a lucid dreamer. How do I do it? Or rather, how do I learn to do it. Do tell.

i dont think Nolan will allow it to be honest.. he's been very vocal in his non support of 3d as a format to film in.. i bet warner would have loved to have Inception shot in 3d but he would have probably said.. hmm.. well if you want another batman movie.. 'let me do things my way' you have to credit the guy.. he's batting pretty strong at the moment!

The studio asked him to shot in 3d, but he decided not to.

Nolan doesn't like shooting in 3D but isn't against conversion. He said he considered converting Inception to 3D but ultimately didn't have the time.

If you seriously want to do it, it is a skill that can be learned. Most people should be able to do it given they have enough motivation and patience. Some people have to work harder at it than others.The key ingredients to being successful at inducing lucid dreams, is motivation, patience, and persistence. Since this is a Blu-ray forum, and not a lucid dreaming one. I'll try to keep this as short as I can.

There are quite a few different techniques, including the use of supplements that can help make one more aware in their dreams. The most basic way to do it, and the way I have pretty good success with, is a fairly simple concept.

You just start always questioning whether or not you are dreaming while you are awake. You keep the thought in the for front of your mind as often as you possibly can, and always be on the lookout for things that seem strange or out of place. Any kind of abnormality that you can notice in your dream that clues you in that the fact that you might be dreaming is called a dreamsign. They can be random things, or things that happen often enough that every time you see them they will cause you to realize you are dreaming.
If you are always asking yourself if you are in a dream, you will eventually do it while in a dream. And with any luck, at that point, you will realize the truth of your situation. And believe me, it's well worth the effort. It's the most incredible experience a person can have.

There is also something called reality checks. It's similar to what they used Totems for in Inception. It's a way to prove to yourself beyond any doubt that you are in a dream. There a three that I use most often. My favorite is to simply pinch my nose closed and try to breath through it. Unless your waking life nose is plugged up, in a dream you will be able to breath through your pinched nose no matter how hard you try to stop the air from going through.

Digital watches are great too. If you look at your watch there can be any number of odd things you will see. The easiest way is to look at your watch, look away, then look back at it again. If you're in a dream, your watch will nearly always say something different the second time you look. Sometimes the first time you look the numbers will be all scrambled and broken and you will know right away.

Another one I like to do is push my finger completely through the palm of my hand. so that it sticks out the other side. That's always fun. If you do these reality checks often during the day, and most importantly every time you think something weird is going on. You will eventually end up doing it in a dream even if you don't really believe you are dreaming at the time, and end up very surprised at the result.

I have a couple of online dream journals at Mortal Mist.com where I record all of my lucid dreams, and a lot of my normal dreams too. It's a lucid dreaming forum. If you go there you can learn all the techniques, and anything else you need to know in order to induce lucid dreams. And also to learn dream control skills once you are becoming lucid. you can also benefit from reading about others experiences, and discussing the subject with some very skilled dreamers. You could even start a journal of your own if you wish to do so. They are a great group of people, and it's a lot of fun.
