Inception.

Anyone watched this film - very good and very clever.

Just thinking about it - one of the ideas in there is that Dream time is longer than real time. And when you dream within a dream - then time stretches even further - and when you dream within that dream time stretches even further still and so on. Hours become days, become weeks , become years.

A silly notion and I don't buy this for a second- but following along this line of thought - when you die - do you go into a dream state so deep that you live for eternity in a single second. Is that how God Does it?

Like I said - this is a silly train of thought just to throw out there.

I did watch Inception, liked it a lot. Not silly at all, I think about this stuff all the time. The opposite is more plausible to me, which is that millions or billions of our years are but an instant to God or 'time' after death. Some verses in scripture allude to that but then again they could be allegorical.
