Inception toys with the idea of meddling with a persons subconscious while they are dreaming. This is an idea that is controversially used in The Matrix as well. In Inception we see that the process is used to attain or leave information while a target is sleeping. This means that while they have been subconsciously attacked it is only limited to that particular dream. However, in The Matrix we see that the mental subversion is ongoing or never-ending. Most of the dreamers in The Matrix are unaware that they are actually dreaming and that they are oppressed by a system of controls that do not allow them to object to what's happening to them. Inception dreamers, at times, are trained to recognize that they are in a dream in order to maintain vigilance whether asleep or awake. While Inception is not as ominous as The Matrix, I feel like they both make a good point.We are at our most vulnerable position when we are unaware of our consciousness.
