The Dream-Share Manual: viral marketing for Inception?

By Dave Davis

Posted 16 years ago

Wired recently received a mysterious package: the Dream-Share Tactical Employment Procedures manual. Nearly all the text is redacted, but the pictures would certainly indicate what (as far as we know) Leo and company will get up to in Christopher Nolan’s impending brainjob movie INCEPTION.

The document contains “seven choppy chapters with graphic illustrations and loads of black ink: “Specialists/Operatives,” “Environment Creation,” “The Dream/Waking World Relationship,” “The Hostile Subconscious,” “Warfare in the Dream” and “Interrogation Techniques.”” It seems to be tied in with the site featuring details and procedures for the PASIV Device featured in the movie.
