"They're not people. They're projections of my subconscious." - Inception nailed it

[Life-Hacking]

"They're not people. They're projections of my subconscious."

"They're part of your subconscious. You're the dreamer, so they're your projections."

"We create and perceive our world simultaneously."

"The subconscious is what fills in the details. It's the subconscious that populates the dream."

We project other people and then make them our idols because we have nothing else to relate to, or with.
