Hey, i was wondering, does anyone know some good movies related to dreaming or lucid dreaming?

I have seen some, seen that Abre Los Ojos (Open your eyes in English) which is an italian movie, was quite good tbh.

Also downloaded a movie named DreamScape which i am planning to see later today :]

Anything by David Lynch, my favorite being Mulholland Drive. Oh, and for anyone confused by the movie or wanting to try to understand it, check this incredible review on CollativeLearning.com: http://www.collativelearning.com/MUL...0ANALYSIS.html

Also I suppose the structure's of Kubrick's films is very dreamlike... my faves being The Shining and 2001: A Space Odyssy. YOu can also find analyses of these films on the same site: http://www.collativelearning.com/FIL...OB%20AGER.html

Some of my favorite surreal films (surrealism of course is rooted in dreaming and Freudian concepts of the subconscious) would include Street of Crocodiles by the Brothers Quay (plus some of their other short animated films) and also the work of their predecessor Jan Svankmajer. Try YouTube for lots of Svankmajer's films: http://www.youtube.com/results?searc...rch_type=&aq=f . Looks like the Quays also have some stuff on YT: http://www.youtube.com/results?searc...rch_type=&aq=f

Definitely not about lucid dreaming, but I just re-watched The Mask, and it reminded me greatly of myself when I become lucid in a dream.

then there's always Alice in Wonderland

Donnie darko if no one has seen that which I doubt... I watched waking life and science of sleep last night, waking life was ok and I liked the science of sleep but there has to be better movies more aimed at lucid dreaming???

I Agree, there has to be something better!

Im studying film at the moment and when I started getting realy interested in LDing I thought shit I can get some amazing ideas for movies from my dreams or just make a movie about lucid dreaming. Im realy keen to do something, if anyone has good ideas PM me. I have a short film I made for class http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcZJIPQuh8E I had a dream and wanted to make it into a short film

**DarkCoffe64** · 03-19-2010 01:31 AM

Well, these are not movie but they are related to dreams!
Nights Into Dreams
Klonoa: Door to Phantomile
Klonoa: Lunatea's Veil
These three games all talk about dreams! Try them!

**atkins513** · 03-19-2010 02:11 AM

Thought of another one... The phasing technique, or the teleporting technique reminds me of the original Butterfly Effect with Ashton Kutcher...

Just watched that in 3d last night.. the 3d effects as always are cool, but maybe im just not an Alice in wonderland fan.. i wasnt pleased lol

I recently watched Vanilla Sky, which did have relation to Lucid Dreaming. I'm sure you'd pick it up faster than someone who had never heard of LDs before.

I had to watch it a couple times though just to notice all of the little parts. (Abre los Ojos is the Spanish version of this movie, Vanilla Sky is a remake.)
