![]() It meant Cobb could slip the new concept in without any defence. The resulted in the dreamer having no idea what was real and what wasn’t. ![]() ![]() Cobb achieved this by layering dreams together. To plant the idea, the dream world needed to be strong. His Dad felt the company was more robust as a single entity rather than in smaller pieces. In the film, the positive idea he wanted to plant into the sons head is that he should be his own man doing things his way, rather than following what his father would have done. He suggests that positive ideas are more powerful than negative ones. The more normal it feels, the more likely we are to work with the idea. Sometimes we resist ideas just because we don’t like the way people force an idea onto us. It’s similar to real-life when a person tries to make you do something or believe something in a way that causes you to react. If it wasn’t subtle, the mind would defend against and reject it. Cobb figured he could do it and needed to follow two principles.įirst, the idea had to feel obvious and right to the mind having inception done to them. And most of his team thought he was crazy to try. “Your mind is the arena in which you rehearse your future, your thoughts determine what goes into the arena, and this very moment is the result.” - Steven Aitchison Cobb had studied the possibility of inception and believed it was possible. Saito is capitalising on a transition of power from father to son because of the father’s death. In the film, Cobb is asked by a powerful businessman to plant an idea in a competitor’s mind rather than steal information. It is not necessarily to stop someone slipping by our defences while we sleep, but more to consider what ideas shape our lives and take control of them. Working out how to guard our minds and their ideas is a life skill with value in the modern world. However, some people who know they’re being targeted have gotten wise to the potential for attack, and they start learning mind techniques to defend themselves from these thieves. This allows him to get the information he needs with little resistance. He sells his services to rich people looking to get an edge by knowing things.Ĭobb does this by entering people’s dreams and constructing elaborate worlds that open up a dreamers mind whilst disarming their defences. Instead, he has learned how to enter people’s minds and extract valuable information from them. He doesn’t go around stealing physical possessions. If you haven’t seen the film, let me give you a quick overview. Inception, Christopher Nolan’s epic film, shows us how we might plant the right ideas and watch them grow.
