I don't really get to see many independent movies, but you've definitely piqued my interest. I never really thought about lucid dreams before, but the technology you've brought up here would be very powerful... and scary in a way. I'm not sure how I would feel about people walking through my dreams. I'll admit though, some great movies could probably be made from people's dreams. Maybe it's a concept to explore for movie theatres! I work at one, and sometimes it seems like nothing new comes out. That would solve the problem, right? There are always unique dreams!

I think you're right that it's part of anime culture. A lot of the rapid pacing probably also stems from the speed of the dialogue. Some of the characters spoke so quickly! I hadn't even considered the bad guy's resemblance to Ken Wilber, but now that you pointed it out I can't help but laught at how art has so closely imitated reality in this case. ~ Kris Hi Ryan,
