Waking life, deals directly with the concept of lucid dreaming and some philosophies surrounding it. A little obscure and hard to understand, more of a philosophical lecture and highly symbolistic than anythiing resembling a generic movie. Be expecting an extremely strange movie if you hire it out.

Little nemo is a kid movie that delas wiht lucid dremaing. I used to watch it when i was young and i thik its why I had luid dremas when i was young.

I never saw the movie Flatliners, but I know it had to do with intentionally experiencing death temporarily to see what happens. I would assume that OBEs play at least a small part in this movie (that reminds me, I should check that movie out next time). --JOE

Hi all! I wrote the following after seeing the movie "What Dreams May Come":* Armed with a purseful of kleenex, I went to see "What Dreams May Come" and although I didn't need the kleenex (I got just a *little* misty eyed), I came away feeling very.. for lack of better word... blessed. You see, while I was sitting in that dark theater with everyone else marveling at the vivid colors, the images of people flying (and more that I won't speak of for those who haven't seen the movie) it dawned on me that I didn't have to wait for *death* to experience everything that was on the screen. *I have been in fields of vivid color, I have flown alone and with others, and I have even desired to see someone and have had that person appear in front of me. I went to the movie with my husband (who thinks of my experiences as my little *hobby*) and afterward I wanted so much to explain how all this is possible if you just believe that it is.. that anyone with the desire can have them too. But then he smiled that smile that he saves for me whenever I speak of lucid dreaming or OOBEs and the words sounded somehow hollow or as if I were just bragging (it's hard to explain). Once again I decided that it was more than enough that *I* know these things to be true and that I could come on the web and speak to others who know them to be true also. We who lucid dream, we who have OOBEs are indeed truely blessed.. because if the movie "What Dreams May Come" is any indication of what heaven holds, we have been given the gift of experiencing *heaven on earth*. Take care... Clairity

Another good one, but a bit older is called Jacobs Ladder pretty difficult movie to guess whats going on, unless you know one key factor, which I just gave away by responding to this post! Easily one of my favorite movies of all time.

The Golden Child was on TV today, and I came in right on a part where Eddie Murphy lays down, then "wakes up" in a different room with strange surroundings. He gets out of bed and walks out of his room - out of nowhere a white horse walks behind him. The villan in the movie appears and eventually Eddie Murphy says "wait a minute, this is a dream, isn't it?". The villan claims to have "brought" Eddie Murphy's character there (implying astral projection?). At one point he later says "well, since this is a dream, I guess I'll be able to get away with saying this...." Not a movie about LDing, but definitely incorporated.

Then he gets out of his *dream cloud* and then hes just walking around, and then he goes into other peoples dreams and interacts with them..

Originally posted by Vladimirn Voyager? what season? or name on episode? I don't know, but there was an alien race which caused everyone on board Voyager to sleep, and Chakotay saw his dreamsign which was the moon, and woke himself up, many stuff follows. Something like that.

Waking Life is one of my favourite films, and it is very concerned with lucid dreaming. The narrative progresses through the protagonist's entrapment in his own lucid dream. He attempts to get out, but only engages in repeated false awakenings. I strongly recommend this. Also, Requiem for a Dream is about dreams - or hallucinagenics, but maintaings dream-related themes. This isn't as great a film as WL, but is worth a go. Vanilla sky too is about dreams, though i'm sure this' been mentioned. Mulholland Drive is a great David Lynch film that explores some dream ideas too. Go cinema!

I just thought of another movie that reminded me of hypnagogic imagery.. the movie "Contact" that stars Jodie Foster. When she takes off in the machine, the imagery is just dead-on!

The Star Trek: Voyager episode is called "Waking Moments". http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/seri...sode/71727.html
