Did you read the whole thread or just my reply, squaddle? LOL

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

Dont Forget Nightmare on Elm Street!
lol

Definitely watch Paprika. I love that movie.

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.

There's one movie coming out that everybody was talking about. I don't quite remember the name. Inception, maybe? The only real synopsis I could find was that CEO's invented a machine to go into people's dreams, and steal their thoughts and ideas, but the previews made it seem like these ideas could change the world they were in. It also sort of looked like some shared lucid dreaming experience. I'll have to see it when it comes out.

The Matrix is always nice to watch when you feel yourself losing hope or getting bored with trying to achieve LDs.

Sure helped me!

Some great movies..

altered states

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

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!

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

Darn, somebody beat me to it. I was going to say Alice in Wonderland.

I read an article about Inception today, directed by Chris Nolan. I found it interesting when asked about creation of the film “I've always been fascinated by dreams – really, by the idea that when you think about what a dream is, what the mind is doing during a dream, the mind is creating a world and perceiving it almost simultaneously,"

Could be worth somehting to look out for

You could be right, Mortal. It kind of looks like something similar to an idea I had for a lucid dreaming movie/game. I hope it's not too close though; I want to actually take my own ideas somewhere!

And I don't know if anyone else here has played Indigo Prophecy/Fahrenheit (it has a different name depending on where you live, and it's not about lucid dreaming, but it's crazy enough to be a dream) but the guy in Inception totally looks like the main character of that game (Lucas Kane)...and the flying fight scene reminds me of that game as well. I doubt there's a connection between the two, but I couldn't resist pointing out the similarity!

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.)

i heard waking life was about dreams
