We've all seen this story before. We go through an compelling adventure with these characters, and at the end they wake up. It was all a dream. We stand up in our seats and we scream FUCK YOU!! THANKS FOR WASTING MY TIME!!
But why? Why do we care that it was a dream? It's a movie, we already know that it's not real. Yet we feel like we were basically lied to. For example: at the end of Inception when, SPOLIER: we don't see the top fall over. I instantly told myself that it did fall over, just so that I could care about this story. But why do we do this?
