The REM of Cinema

My apologies to those who arrived here earlier today, looking for a Monday Movie Meme post. Look no further -- it’s here. Late, of course but still here and inspired by the fact that I had a weird dream last night. I won’t go into details because they might serve as a nice future guest post for Arlee Bird’s A Faraway View blog. So, the theme for this week’s meme is: REM Sleep.

Share on your blog or in the comments section, movies featuring scenes that include weird dreams. Basically, the dream should either not make any sense to the viewer, or character for that matter, or it should just be so strange that you can tell this is some stuff that only happens in the movies. Here is my selection (yes, just one...that’s all I have today) for this week’s REM Sleep topic.


A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master

Just when you thought that sleepless nights were taxing on your mental and emotional health, such conditions would mean the difference between life and death in this movie. Kristen, Alice and friends would probably kill to be able to develop a bad case of insomnia since Freddy threatens to murder them in their sleep.

The gym scene where Alice’s friend Debbie is working out continues to be one of the most memorable scenes from this movie. Not necessarily because she turns into an insect but it’s the only scene in this movie had me paying more attention to the soundtrack. Gotta love Sinéad O'Connor’s “I Want Your Hands On Me” song!

What’s the last film YOU watched that features strange dreams?

Oh...strange dreams? Those are the only kind I have. I've never had "normal" dreams, and I've often wondered why.

Regardless, movies featuring dreams? Awesome! How about:

- Dreamscape: Dennis Quaid battles the snake guy. I still think about this movie.
- Inception: Take me to the third level, please
- Brazil: This *just* came out on blu-ray, and is a definite "must see"
- The Wizard of Oz: The entire thing was a dream, just like that season of Dallas
- The Cell: But do we have to wear those swanky clothes before dreaming?

Inception was the first one to come to mind for me. Definitely left me with a new impression of Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

No worries on the late, just glad to have a topic for today! My post is up. I only picked one, too because I had a lot to say...and I'm still working on that brevity thing...so far so good.

Well, there's one line of thinking that the infamous final scene of "There Will Be Blood" is just a revenge-fantasy dream.
