[First of all, let's talk about the analytical point of view of the previous master.]

First, to distinguish between reality and dream, you can't look at the top, you have to look at the ring. I think this sentence is right, but I only think the first half of the sentence is right, but the ring mentioned later, can you use the ring to distinguish the reality? We know that in Inception, whether it is the first level of dreams or the second level of dreams, they are almost indistinguishable from reality. Those who don't know definitely don't know that this is a dream, just like the female character "Redney", after the protagonist enters the dream with "Redney", if it weren't for the protagonist reminding her that it was a dream, I'm afraid "Redney" would only find out when she woke up.

And if this dream is not a layer, but there are multiple layers, like a dream within a dream, you wake up thinking that this is reality, but where do you know that the place where you wake up is still a dream. If the top can't really tell the difference between reality and dreams, then the ring can't either.

Second, the protagonist has been unable to see the child's face in the dream, and he can't see it clearly until he returns home and returns to reality.

Third, the friend assumes that the protagonist is in a dream and that his wife must wake him up. This seems logical, but this student must not have taken HYF's work seriously. In Inception, he has a setting. As long as the character enters a deep dream, such as entering the third layer, the fourth layer, or even the Lost Domain. In reality, let alone wake up, even if you kill him, the protagonist may not be able to wake up.

To sum up, the protagonist does not return to reality and is still in a dream.

Of course, there are so many objections from above, and I am not against it for the sake of opposition, and I also have my reasons why I think the protagonist is still in a dream.

First, in the argument between the protagonist and his wife, the protagonist thinks that his wife has always regarded dreams as reality, but doesn't his wife say the same thing? Even, in order to return the protagonist to reality, the wife also committed suicide and created a scene to blame the protagonist. What is the purpose of doing this, in fact, it is to make the protagonist commit suicide with him, and then return to reality.

Second: The protagonist has serious psychological problems, which I believe everyone knows. When the protagonist goes to Germany to find his father, his father says, Cobb, stop dreaming, go back to reality. Maybe everyone thinks that the protagonist's father said this sentence at that time to let the protagonist open his heart, but in fact, it is the father who is the inventor of the dream that has the most right to speak. He knew exactly that the protagonist was still in the dream.

Third: Since everyone says that the protagonist has returned to reality, let's talk about the plot that the protagonist has returned to reality in the end. Did you find out, when the protagonist got off the plane and returned to reality, almost all the characters, all the characters were looking at the protagonist. According to the theory of "subconscious defense" of dreams. When everyone is looking at you, that's when people in the dream start to wonder if the world is real. That is, when they doubt whether the world is real, then the world is a dream.

I have to say that there are still a lot of cattle people in this world.

As soon as the finale of Inception came out, it immediately triggered the commentary of these bulls.

It's just that the ending of Inception is too cheating.

Friends who were originally in the same analysis team had two completely different opinions.

One is adamant that the protagonist has returned to reality, and the other is completely convinced that the protagonist is still in a dream.

Both sides are masters, and both sides can find a series of evidence in the novel.

It's just that the two sides argued and argued, but neither persuaded anyone.

This is also the point that even if Inception is over, the debate about the ending of Inception has never stopped.

Not only did it not stop, but as time went by, such debates became more and more intense.

In particular, after the most authoritative academic journal "Science" magazine published an article on dream psychology, this controversy exploded to a climax. Even, in the end, because the discussion about dreams was too intense, it once attracted many psychology professors and philosophical researchers to follow up.

However, they are not studying whether the protagonist of Inception has returned to reality, but the difference between dreams and reality.

Of course, they also borrowed the argument from the Inception finale.

These experts say that when faced with an unknown world, how can we distinguish between reality and dreams?

As soon as this topic came out, it was like a spark, and there was almost no hype, and it became a world-class topic.

Dream or reality?

Is our world a dream or a reality?

This is a difficult problem that seems easy, but it is incredibly complex.

How can we tell if our world is a dream or not?

You think it's a joke, and you may subconsciously think, can't we be a normal person who can't even distinguish between reality and dreams?

Yes, don't think it's a joke, and don't think that our current world is the real world. In our dreams, don't we also feel that dreams are also a real world?

Why did Qi Teng in Inception wait for the protagonist for decades, and he finally committed suicide to return to reality when he was about to die of old age. It's because Saito can't tell whether this is reality or a dream in a dream, and it wasn't until he met the protagonist that he remembered his promise to the protagonist, remembered that he was going to defeat his competitors, and remembered that he had entered a dream. And we, facing this real world that is exactly the same as the dream of Inception, how can you tell this is reality and this is a dream?

A question more complex than philosophy arises.

At the beginning, many people were a little unwilling to admit defeat and insisted on solving the problem.

It's just that after they spent countless hours, they suddenly found that this problem turned out to be unsolvable.

Yes.

No solution.

You can't explain it with almost all the means in the world today, whether it's scientific means or the means of conscious analysis.

And eventually, countless Inception readers woke up.

They finally know why there is so much debate in the finale.

Because, no matter how you argue.

You can't prove whether the protagonist has returned to reality or not.

Like, you can't prove that the world is a reality or a dream.

"Teacher Huang Yifan, how do you think we should distinguish between reality and dreams?"

In order to improve the theory of dream psychology and promote his own academics, Huang Yifan accepted the invitation of the University of California and became a teaching assistant at the University of California. Of course, if it is said to be a teaching assistant, it is actually a lecturer.

At this time, Huang Yifan, who was taking a psychology class, was asked such a question by a student.

"Pit......"

Hearing this question, Huang Yifan burst into tears.

He originally thought that the question of how to distinguish between reality and dreams raised by Inception had pitted everyone in the world, but he didn't expect that after looking back, he found that this problem had also pitted him.

If you can distinguish between reality and dreams, then you are a saint.

Huang Yifan thought in his heart.

However, I was also a lecturer anyway, and if I didn't say anything, I didn't seem to be happy, so after thinking about it, I said.

[If understood from a narrow perspective, the difference between dreams and reality is easy to judge, after all, the continuity and perceptibility of reality cannot be reflected in dreams. However, if we look at it from a broad perspective, in everyone's memory, the memory of a year ago, or even beyond, often has the same nature as a dream to a certain extent, fragmentation and jumping, and this memory to a certain extent is similar to some particularly memorable dreams, and when I think of it again after a long period of precipitation, there is often a feeling of loss. I think that's the core of this issue. Memories will gradually precipitate over time, leaving behind only the most profound events and feelings, and the same is true of dreams. This is also why Zhuang Zhou can't tell whether he is a butterfly or a butterfly is himself.

And how can we tell the difference between reality and dreams?

I think that when we understand the three questions, we will be able to truly distinguish between reality and dream. 】

"Teacher Huang Yifan, what are the three questions. ”

The students in the audience looked at Huang Yifan expectantly.

These people are all students who worship Huang Yifan's dream psychology and specially come to Huang Yifan's class

"These three questions are......

"Who am I. ”

"Where am I from. ”

"Where am I going? ”

These three philosophical questions arise from the words of "Jesus" in the Bible.

Jesus said, "Though I testify of myself, my testimony is true." Because I know where I came from and where I'm going. but you do not know where I come from or where I am going. ”

If you know who you are, where you're from, and where you're going. Then, you will be able to truly distinguish between reality and dreams.

Facing the students in the audience, Huang Yifan answered a world-class philosophical problem. (To be continued.) )
