What was the idea behind Inception?

Inception was directed by Christopher Nolan, who based it on the idea of "exploring the idea of people sharing a dream space - entering a dream space and sharing a dream. That gives you the ability to access somebody’s unconscious mind. What would that be used and abused for?"


Additionally, he believed that "being able to extract information from somebody’s brain would be the obvious use of that because obviously any other system where it’s computers or physical media, whatever – things that exist outside the mind – they can all be stolen ... up until this point, or up until this movie I should say, the idea that you could actually steal something from somebody’s head was impossible. So that, to me, seemed a fascinating abuse or misuse of that kind of technology".


Since he was sixteen, he had occasionally explored these concepts, fascinated by the way he would awaken and then, as he drifted back into a more relaxed slumber, maintain the knowledge that he was having a lucid dream. Additionally, he became conscious of the sensation that he could examine the location and change the dream's course.


He also stated, "I tried to work that idea of manipulation and management of a conscious dream being a skill that these people have. Really the script is based on those common, very basic experiences and concepts, and where can those take you? And the only outlandish idea that the film presents, really, is the existence of a technology that allows you to enter and share the same dream as someone else".
