Science wakes up to people's increasing ability to manipulate their own dreams
Lucid dreaming which was shown in the movie – Inception is real and becoming more common, experts believe. Britain’s leading authority said that the incidence of lucid dreaming has been on the rise over the last few years. The point is further supported by the result from a sleep laboratory conducted by Professor Mark Blagrove. The result showed that a lucid dream had risen between 10 – 40% since 1980s. Professor Mark Blagrove asserted that lucid dreams have the potential to inspect the neurological divergence between conscious and unconscious self. It showed that people are more capable in controlling their dreams. However, lucid dream has created a controversy as they are hard to monitor and evaluate and some experiments revealed that overall brain activity was still notably different to the waking state. On the other hand, Professor Mark Blagrove said that it might have a role in sifting and consolidating memories. The conclusion is : Dreaming is very subjective and how true the dream cannot be justified.

wow, it seems to be a new discovery and it is so interesting that what was shown in the movie can be reality! Inception is a fantasy and it is pretty amazing if everyone manages to control their dreams. I can imagine how the dreams would be shaped according to our desire and it helps to develop innovative skills indirectly. Fascinating indeed, However, how true it is, yet to be confirmed as dreams are subjective
