Which one is which in the picture?
If I remember correctly the first scene in Dracula is when someone is dreaming and the dream features the main character in a horse drawn carriage being blocked in the road by an identical carriage which makes precisely the same movements as his own. I think the implication is that the carriage is being driven by some kind of evil double. Am I thinking of the right book?
there's also the doppelgänger's close cousin, our own Norse "vardøg", basically the ghost of yourself, but slightly ahead in time of the real you:

"a spirit with the subject's footsteps, voice, scent, or appearance and overall demeanor precedes them in a location or activity, resulting in witnesses believing they've seen or heard the actual person, before the person physically arrives".
I've seen a few of her short films but I obviously don't remember them that well."i'm suprised no ones mentioned maya derens films yet, she's the original film maker obsessed by dopplegangers, non linear time and alternate 'worlds' i would guess."

speaking of the intersection of planes that should not meet-----La Jetee. meeting your doppelganger through time travel. does this happen in one of the back to the future flicks? can't remember.
man i am always reinventing the wheelmaybe there is a self that is concealed by one's societal mask
and perhaps the doppelganger is that inner self unbound and running amok
the person that one has to be to function in society is perhaps at odds with the darker inner self----too much friction between the mask and the wearer can cause ruptures
I've seen that I think or maybe (weirdly) I've read the book, can't remember much about it though."yeah, and so i was watching the original Star Trek series and i happened upon maybe the best episode i've ever seen called "the enemy within"------the transporter gets fucked up, creating doppelgangers of captain kirk."
So.... what the fuck do you reckon that was about then?"wow. just watched Possession."
