Metaphysics- What is real?

Metaphysics is a core concept of philosophy which seeks to explain the nature of reality. How do we reconcile the duality of our perception of the material and the immaterial— the mysterious relationship between the mind and body? Metaphysical arguments also tend toward cosmological arguments about the origins of existence.

Could there be a better example of a film which bids us to question our reality? Repeatedly the characters are discovering and fearing that “their worlds are not real.” At the very least Inception bids us to consider what it is to dream: having a distorted perception of time, wondering when we wake “But how did I get there?,” how the dreamer’s physical environment can strangely manifest in her dream, how those who may no longer be a part of a dreamer’s waking world survive his dreams and perhaps, as Ariadne seems to believe, from our dreams we can make some startling discoveries about our waking existence. It may be easy to say “It’s just a dream,” but let’s face it, not all dreams are easy to wake up from.
