Thread: The Science of Sleep

In my opinion, The Science of Sleep is way better (and cooler ) than Vanilla Sky both in terms of treating the subject of lucid dreams and just as a movie.

I agree, Vanilla Sky got the whole lucidity thing wrong.

*spoilers*
According to the story the main character was in a lucid dream from around the second half of the film until the end, but he only found out that he was in a 'lucid dream' at the end, which makes no sense.

Thanks! I will have to watch it

The Science of Sleep is a great movie! Michel Gondry at his best.
Has anyone seen any of the films in the Ingmar Bergman collection eg. Persona?

Wasn't he actually in coma in a virtual reality after his accident?

Just happened to have watched the Science of Sleep this weekend.
It was pretty funny.
Lucid dreamers will recognise a lot of the kooky things which occour.
