Dreams

Watching House reminded me of Inception. It showed me how Descartes is everywhere. In Inception we learn how in a dream we do not remember how we got to a place. In House, we watched as House kept walking up and down the staircase. When I first watched this episode years ago, I had thought he was just trying out his leg, happy that he could walk. But I learned later that it was his way of figuring out what was a hallucination. I never understood it before until I watched Inception, and Descartes has also helped me understand dreams more and how our sense, perception, and judgment are impaired, and how they can not be fully trusted.
