If so, what were your thoughts on it and such? I think that is on my top 10 personally.

Ya, I really enjoyed it. I just watched it again recently.

The segment on lucid dreaming stood out to me. I've been trying to do it ever since, and I haven't succeeded yet.

I also loved how Linkletter chose to put Jesse and Celine from Before Sunrise in that movie. I still haven't figured out the answer to that question about reincarnation. Where do all the new souls come from if our population has grown so drastically in the last century? Other universes maybe?

Have you seen A Scanner Darkly? They use the same animation technique on that as well.

I had the same questions about reincarnation, i need to ask someone who knows their shit. haha. and I have been interested in lucid dreaming for a long time, before i saw this movie. This whole movie is basically about lucid dreaming. I hear if you write a journal of your dreams can help remember a lucid one if you have one. and also, if you check lights(like in the movie) and also check clocks and stuff, to see if they are working in waking life, that can transfer over in dreams, and you can come to the realization you are in a lucid dream that way. but there are many ways.

EDIT- I have not seen A scanner darkly, i will look it up tomorrow when I don't feel the need to sleep so much.
