Actually, the gap between, say, Plato and Nietzsche and the average human is greater than the gap between a chimpanzee and the average human. The realm of the real spirit - the true artist, the saint, the philosopher - is rarely achieved. Why so few? Why is world history and evolution not stories of progress, but rather, this endless and futile addition of zeros?
Ever have a job that you've hated, worked really hard at, long hard day at work, finally you get to go home, get in bed, close your eyes... and immediately you wake up and realize, the whole day at work... it had been a dream? It's bad enough that you sell your waking life for minimum wage, but now they get your dreams for free.
Dreams; what are they? An escape from reality or reality itself? A film on science, philosophy, and the life of dreaming and waking. The film's protagonist has an endless series of dreams after a bad accident. In them, he follows around people who discuss their ideas on life and what lies behind dreams. Soon, he becomes alarmed when he discovers he cannot awake from this confusing dream.
