The Penrose Staircase

The simplicity of Christopher Nolan's idea in Inception hit me in that spot. Curiosity hit me like a gush of wind. I had studied about dreams before but the idea the Nolan had was different from the mainstream ones. "What if one could penetrate/control another's dream and had the power to control it?"

Hence it led me to the amazing discovery of the Penrose Staircase. A depiction of a 90-degree staircase that turns as they ascend and descend that forms a continuous loop that goes on forever. A person may climb it forever and it will never get higher.

This design is clearly impossible in the 3-Dimension world. Hence, this can only be experienced in a lucid dream.
