精彩对白

Browning: These people are gonna kill us if we don't give them the combination.

Fishcer: They just wanna ransom.

Browning: I heard them. They're gonna lock us in that van, and then drive it into the river.

Fishcer: All right. What is in the safe?

Browning: Something for you. Maurice always said it was his most precious gift to you. A will.

Fishcer: Maurice's will is with Port and Dunn.

Browning: That's an alternate. This would supersede the other if you want it to. It splits up the component businesses of Fischer Morrow. It'd be the end of the entire empire as we know it.

Fishcer: Destroying my whole inheritance? Why would he suggest such a thing?

Browning: I just don't know. Robert He loved you, Robert. In his own way.

Fishcer: In his own way. At the end...he called me in to his deathbed. He could barely speak. But he took the trouble to tell me one last thing. He pulled me close. And I could only make out... one word. "Disappointed."

Ariadne: When were you in limbo? You might have the rest of the team convinced to carry on with this job. But they don't know the truth.

Cobb: Truth? What truth?

Ariadne: The truth that, at any minute, you might bring a freight train through the wall. The truth that Mal is bursting through your subconscious. And the truth that, as we go deeper into Fischer... we're also going deeper into you. And I'm not sure we're gonna like what we find.

Cobb: We were working together. We were exploring the concept of a dream within a dream. I kept pushing things. I wanted to go deeper and deeper. I wanted to go further. I just didn't understand the concept that hours could turn into years down there... that we could get trapped so deep...that when we wound up on the shore of our own subconscious...we lost sight of what was real. We created. We built the world for ourselves. We did that for years. We built our own world.

Ariadne: How long were you stuck there?

Cobb: Something like 50 years.

Ariadne: Jesus. How could you stand it?

Cobb: It wasn't so bad at first, feeling like gods. The problem was knowing that none of it was real. Eventually, it just became impossible for me to live like that.

Ariadne: And what about for her?

Cobb: She had locked something away, something deep inside her. A truth that she had once known, but chose to forget. Limbo became her reality.

Ariadne: What happened when you woke up?

Cobb: Well, to wake up from that after years, after decades...to become old souls thrown backinto youth like that? I knew something was wrong with her. She just wouldn't admit it. Eventually, she told me the truth. She was possessed by an idea. This one very simple idea that changed everything. That our world wasn't real. That she needed to wake up to come back to reality...that in order to get back home...we had to kill ourselves.[page]

《盗梦空间》以精妙复杂的故事吸引了广大观众，引来无数人对其情节进行解构，而逆向还原到睡眠科学的层面，片中核心设定“梦中梦”、“联合做梦”等在现实中有没有存在的可能呢？

从《盗梦空间》解析做梦秘密

《盗梦空间》的主要线索，是男主角科布带着一干同伙将下手对象迷倒后共同进入梦境开展工作，先是套取对象头脑中的秘密，后来则要把新的想法和观念植入。为了加强效果，科布要在梦中再造梦，例如套取秘密要两层，植入观念要三层，最后作案过程中突生变故，临时进入第四层，有电影观众还看出第五层、第六层来。

问：梦很玄妙吗？

徐文军（广州市脑科医院临床心理科主任）：梦是人脑的一种电生理活动，发生在睡眠周期中的快速眼动睡眠期。梦境是大脑的视觉活动，对于梦的内容，历来有两种迥异的观点。巴甫洛夫认为梦是大脑出现脱抑制的结果，反映的是记忆中的信息，并无特别的意义；弗洛伊德则认为梦是内心压抑解除后的活动内容，能变相地满足潜意识愿望，是有意义的。还有一种梦是白日梦，是一种想入非非的幻想，例如穷人发呆的时候进入白日梦状态，梦见自己提了一大笔钱出去开车兜风，到处捐钱做善事，等等。

问：梦中能否再做梦？

徐文军：我曾经接诊过一位20多岁的女孩，梦见自己在睡午觉，然后又梦见了其他内容，但回忆不清了。她这个所谓“梦中梦”只是梦里的一种感觉，后面的梦境实际上与前面还是同一个层次，梦醒的时候没有先回到梦中的午睡之前，而是直接回到现实世界。

问：梦中能否意识到自己在做梦？

徐文军：睡眠状态下很难判断是否意识到自己在做梦。我从没遇到过有人能在梦中进行创造、分析的思维活动。

问：科布的妻子醒来后怀疑现实是梦境，为了弄醒自己而跳楼自杀了。现实中有没有这种情况？

徐文军：用自杀来验证就太戏剧性了，其实只要拿尖东西刺一下手就可以了。爱做白日梦的人和癔症患者会有这种分不清幻想与现实的情况；强大的创伤可以让人产生“现实是不是真实”的怀疑，例如在汶川地震后，有的幸存者不敢相信自己还活着，就使劲咬自己的舌头，疼得厉害才相信；有一个女孩，和男友分手后不相信自己竟然失恋了，就让别人咬她的手……上述情况发展到极端状态可出现“超限抑制”，大脑会一片空白。这些人在别人的解释之后，一般能够打消怀疑。如果经过反复解释仍怀疑现实的，就可能有精神病了，因为这是妄想的表现。

问：科布把大家带入梦中，在里头相互沟通。现实中人与人可以做一样的梦并沟通吗？

徐文军：在人工诱导的条件下可以使两个人造出类似的梦境，例如在相同的寒冷温度下，用乙醚对两个人进行麻醉，在他们睡着后制造相同的雷声等刺激，他们醒来也许都会回忆相似的梦境，但梦中沟通是不可能的。

问：电影里梦中的时间过得比现实世界慢，是真的吗？

徐文军：这个问题很难说得清楚。人的梦是千姿百态的，会根据内心的愿望延长或者缩短时间：有的人在梦中觉得时间过得快，自己变得沧桑老迈；有的人面临限时完成任务的工作压力，梦中的时间就过得很慢。
