I'M PRETTY SURE THEY ALREADY HAVE AND ARE DENYING THAT. SO.

[boutant]

THAT'S... PROBABLY TRUE.

[gordianknots]

ANYWAY.

WHAT IS IT ACTUALLY LIKE GOING IN?

[boutant]

YOU FALL ASLEEP. AND THEN YOU'RE IN THE DREAM -- IT FEELS REAL. IF YOU DON'T KNOW THAT YOU'RE GOING INTO A DREAM, YOU WOULD THINK IT WOULD BE. THERE ARE PEOPLE, USUALLY; PROJECTIONS OF THE SUBCONSCIOUS OF THE SUBJECT. NOT THE DREAMER, THOUGH; THEY'RE THE ONE WHO MAKES THE LAYOUT.

[gordianknots]

HUH. AND DOES EVERYTHING FEEL COMPLETELY SOLID, OR--?

[boutant]

YES. WELL- UNLESS YOU FALL OFF SOMETHING.

[gordianknots]

WHAT HAPPENS THEN?

[boutant]

YOU WAKE UP.

[gordianknots]

OH, I WAS EXPECTING 'YOU DIE'

[boutant]

IF YOU DIE IN THE DREAM, YOU WAKE UP.

UNLESS YOU'RE VERY HEAVILY SEDATED, THEM YOU END UP ON 'THE SHORES OF YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS'. LIMBO.

[gordianknots]

IS IT POSSIBLE TO EVER GET OUT, OR IS LIMBO PERMANENT?

[boutant]

YOU CAN GET OUT, BUT SOMETIMES YOUR MIND KIND OF.

TURNS TO MUSH.

[gordianknots]

WELL, THAT'S MILDLY TERRIFYING.

[boutant]

YEAH, IT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING TO BE CAREFUL WITH.

[gordianknots]

TO SAY THE LEAST.

GOOD GOD, I HAVEN'T BEEN THIS SLACK JAWED IN AGES. IT'S A NOVELTY.

[boutant]

YOU'RE WELCOME.

[gordianknots]

ANY OTHER BIG INFORMATION BOMBS YOU SHOULD TELL ME THEN?

[boutant]

TIME WITHIN A DREAM IS MUCH FASTER. SO YOU COULD BE THERE FOR DAYS AND WAKE UP AND IT'S ONLY BEEN HALF AN HOUR IN THE REAL WORLD.

[gordianknots]

THERE'S ACTUALLY A SIMILAR CONCEPT TO THAT BACK HOME FOR ME.

[boutant]

YOU CAN ALSO HAVE DREAMS WITHIN DREAMS. THE FURTHER YOU GO, THE BIGGER THE TIME DIFFERENCE.

OF COURSE, GO TOO DEEP AND YOU END UP IN LIMBO.

[gordianknots]

AND WE'RE BACK TO MUSHY-BRAINS.

[boutant]

WELL, IT'S VERY IMPORTANT.

[gordianknots]

THAT I DO NOT DOUBT AT ALL. WHAT'S THE MOST COMMON OUTCOME FOR THIS PROCESS?

[boutant]

WELL, WHAT WE DID WAS SPECIAL. USUALLY YOU JUST GO IN TO GET SOME INFORMATION - "EXTRACTION". BUT WE PLANTED AN IDEA, WHICH IS TYPICALLY CONSIDERED IMPOSSIBLE. THAT'S CALLED "INCEPTION".

[gordianknots]

WHY'S IT CONSIDERED SUCH A HARD THING TO DO?
