Inception and the Top 10 Dream Movies of All Time

By Zachary Goldbaum / Source: Filmjabber.com

As Inception plows through its second weekend of box office glory, Christopher Nolan's lucid thriller is simultaneously solidifying its legacy as a classic of contemporary cinema. 

From the early days of film making (dare I say, since its inception?), theorists have speculated about the dreamlike nature of the cinematic experience and movies have perpetually tried to bring dreams alive on screen. 

Inception couples innovative art-house sensibilities with blockbuster thrill tactics to take on the dream genre with ingenuity and intelligence. 

Like Inception, these next ten films deftly negotiate the world of dreams with real life to earn the distinction of being one of the top ten dream movies of all time.

Name Your Top 3 Wishes -- and Watch Them Happen

Source: Mind Movies 2.0

Imagine if you had a genie that could grant you 3 wishes.  Isn't that the childhood fantasy you had when you were little?

But as with most childhood fairy tales, I'm sure that fantasy turned into disillusionment when you realized that you can't simply wish something into existence, right?  Somewhere along the way, the child in you became an adult -- and dreams became nothing but a head-in-the-clouds waste of time.

Whatever your age may be, I'm about to challenge your ability to believe in your secret hopes and dreams again. 

What if you could name 3 wishes you want in your life ... and then use your computer or TV to make those wishes come true?

Does that sound far-fetched? 

Don't worry.  That's what I thought, too ... at first. 

But rest assured that the manifestation technology I'm about to reveal to you is something deeply rooted in solid science -- the science of emotion.  And in a moment, I'll prove it to you.

Why Do Astronauts Experience God?

By Rebecca Sato / Source: Daily Galaxy

In February, 1971, Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell experienced the little understood phenomenon sometimes called the "Overview Effect".

He describes being completely engulfed by a profound sense of universal connectedness. Without warning, he says, a feeing of bliss, timelessness, and connectedness began to overwhelm him.

He describes becoming instantly and profoundly aware that each of his constituent atoms were connected to the fragile planet he saw in the window and to every other atom in the Universe. He described experiencing an intense awareness that Earth, with its humans, other animal species, and systems were all one synergistic whole.

He says the feeling that rushed over him was a sense of interconnected euphoria. He was not the first -- nor the last -- to experience this strange "cosmic connection".

Rusty Schweikart experienced it on March 6th 1969 during a spacewalk outside his Apollo 9 vehicle: "When you go around the Earth in an hour and a half, you begin to recognize that your identity is with that whole thing. That makes a change... it comes through to you so powerfully that you’re the sensing element for Man." Schweikart, similar to what Mitchell experienced, describes intuitively sensing that everything is profoundly connected.

Their experiences, along with dozens of other similar experiences described by other astronauts, intrigue scientists who study the brain. This "Overview Effect", or acute awareness of all matter as synergistically connected, sounds somewhat similar to certain religious experiences described by Buddhist monks, for example.

This Is Your Brain On Sex

By Martin Portner / Source: Scientific American

She did not often have such strong emotions. But she suddenly felt powerless against her passion and the desire to throw herself into the arms of the cousin whom she saw at a family funeral.

"It can only be because of that patch," said Marianne, a participant in a multinational trial of a testosterone patch designed to treat hypoactive sexual desire disorder, in which a woman is devoid of libido. Testosterone, a hormone ordinarily produced by the ovaries, is linked to female sexual function, and the women in this 2005 study had undergone operations to remove their ovaries.

After 12 weeks of the trial, Marianne had felt her sexual desire return. Touching herself unleashed erotic sensations and vivid sexual fantasies. Eventually she could make love to her husband again and experienced an orgasm for the first time in almost three years.

But that improvement was not because of testosterone, it turned out. Marianne was among the half of the women who had received a placebo patch -- with no testosterone in it at all.

The Depressing News About Antidepressants

By Sharon Begley / Source: Newsweek

Although the year is young, it has already brought my first moral dilemma. In early January a friend mentioned that his New Year's resolution was to beat his chronic depression once and for all.

Over the years he had tried a medicine chest's worth of antidepressants, but none had really helped in any enduring way, and when the side effects became so unpleasant that he stopped taking them, the withdrawal symptoms (cramps, dizziness, headaches) were torture. Did I know of any research that might help him decide whether a new antidepressant his doctor recommended might finally lift his chronic darkness at noon?

The moral dilemma was this: oh, yes, I knew of 20-plus years of research on antidepressants, from the old tricyclics to the newer selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) that target serotonin (Zoloft, Paxil, and the granddaddy of them all, Prozac, as well as their generic descendants) to even newer ones that also target norepinephrine (Effexor, Wellbutrin).

The research had shown that antidepressants help about three quarters of people with depression who take them, a consistent finding that serves as the basis for the oft-repeated mantra "There is no question that the safety and efficacy of antidepressants rest on solid scientific evidence," as psychiatry professor Richard Friedman of Weill Cornell Medical College recently wrote in The New York Times.

But ever since a seminal study in 1998, whose findings were reinforced by landmark research in The Journal of the American Medical Association last month, that evidence has come with a big asterisk. Yes, the drugs are effective, in that they lift depression in most patients. But that benefit is hardly more than what patients get when they, unknowingly and as part of a study, take a dummy pill -- a placebo.

As more and more scientists who study depression and the drugs that treat it are concluding, that suggests that antidepressants are basically expensive Tic Tacs.

The Prosperity Paradox That Keeps You Poor

By Burt Goldman, Creator of Prosperity Paradox

The longer you spend doing something, the better you will become at it.

That is the Law of Life.

To become an expert at whatever it is you want to do, you know that if you put in the time and dedication, you'll eventually get there. After all, practice makes perfect, right?

This rings true for almost anything in life and most professionals in any field will tell you that following this Law has gotten them to where they are today.

In Sports - During his high school years, Michael Jordan never made the school basketball team but after years and years of dedication and practice, he became the all-star he is today.

In Arts - Heath Ledger took months to study and absorb his character, the Joker, in 'The Dark Knight' and actress Winona Ryder had to dive into the psychology of disturbed women for months before starring in 'Girl Interrupted'.

In Music - The Beatles were no strangers to practice. In the earlier days of their career, they played 8 hour sessions, every night of the week without fail. Well, we all know how successful they became.

There are an endless number of fields where world-class experts will tell you the same thing. Dedication, motivation and hours of practice will make you better at anything you take on. It's common sense, right?

It is the proven formula for most things... but here lies the problem... this does not apply to making money.
