From my last blog…..

I just watched ‘Inception’ again over the holidays, and thought it appropriate to pull an entry from my last blog about my first experience with the film.

Dreams

I just saw ‘Inception’ tonight, starring Leonardo DiCaprio. What a stellar motion picture. Seriously, for being 2 1/2 hours, it went by so fast. It is James Bond meets Memento meets Matrix.

Anyways, it got me thinking about dreams. I always have had a strange fear that the life I have been living is just a dream. These thoughts started when I was like 6 or 7, but I have more frequently visited this thought post-near death experience in 2003.

I’ve thought, “What if I am in a coma, sitting on a hospital bed? What if I have been there for the last 7 years and have been dreaming everything since then?”

Why do I think these thoughts? Probably because since July 23, 2003, my life has been absolutely amazing. I have re-entered into a relationship with God (a vibrant, dynamic, relational one), lived in Spain, graduated college, confirmed the love of my life, married her, employed by top tier employers, moved to a new city, and most recently…I am anxiously anticipating the birth of my son, our first child.

At the risk of being recorded in the World’s Most Corny Sayings Almanac…as I look in retrospect, life has seemed way too good to be true. Is my subconscious just playing out it’s most desired wants while I sleep away, unconscious? I guess I’ll never know (short of having my own totem).

I am extremely excited to live, or dream, the next 7 years of my life.
