X-Message-Number: 18265 Date: Mon, 31 Dec 2001 20:22:49 -0800 (PST) From: Scott Badger <> Subject: Re: Vanilla Sky ... BTW Happy Newtonmas to all! Now ... I've just returned from being out of the country and I was disinclined to get online so I'm just catching up. Perhaps I missed where someone else brought this up previously, but I'd just like to note ... Everyone (including the characters in the movie) keeps referring to Cruise's "lucid dream". For the record, a lucid dream describes a situation where one becomes consciously aware of the fact that one is dreaming while in a dream state. This is clearly "not" the scenario described in the movie (until the very end). Cruise's dream may have been vivid and realistic, but it wasn't lucid. No big deal except I cringe when people use terms improperly ... It's getting so bad, I even correct my girlfriend's love letters!
