Who hasn’t had a bizarre or intense dream that stuck with you long after waking up? Some of the most creative minds in Hollywood have tapped into the universal fascination that we have for dreams and crafted unforgettable movies exploring the alternate reality of our sleeping hours.
In this blog post, we go through the five great films that feature surreal dreamscapes, disturbing nightmares, and thought-provoking explorations of the meaning behind our dreams.
1. The Mare
A young man slowly loses himself increasingly in a dream world and his nightmares. But what if the nightmares are real?
2. Ink
Father and daughter are thrust into a fantastical dream-world battle between forces of good and evil in this allegorical tale of love, loss and the search for redemption.
3. Awful Dreams
A man and his dog plan for a quiet evening at home until an evil entity begins stalking him.
4. T H E M
Humans cannot see them anymore. They control the world and everything that happens in it. Humans live in a comfortable dream that repeats itself. They control the dream. They were humans once too. Now they are something else.
5. Sleep Well
Over the course of one night, a sleep deprived man keeps hearing a relentless knocking at his front door. As the night goes on and on and his lack of sleep consumes him, his perception of what is real and what isn’t begins to blur. This eventually leads to dire consequences.
