More innuendo was attached to Jared Loughner's movie viewing. NBC's Mike Taibbi pointed to Donnie Darko and the documentaries Zeitgeist and Loose Change as a source for Loughner's "government conspiracy themes." ABC's David Wright reported that Loughner was a practitioner of so-called Lucid Dreaming. Wright explained it as "a concept straight out of the movies...in dreams, you could have a tryst with a total stranger, conquer a lifelong fear, or commit murder, without any fear of consequences." NBC's Chris Jansing told us about it last summer when the blockbuster Inception was released. ABC's Wright connected it to The Matrix too--and then quoted Loughner's friend Bryce Tierney: "Loughner got in too deep, like the characters in the Inception, his dream became more vivid to him than his waking life." Wright concluded with this lame speculation: "It might just be possible that on Saturday, Loughner's dark dreams became this community's nightmare."
