Dreams in Film

Films are probably the closest medium we have to experiencing the inexplicable quality of the dream in our waking lives. Rich in symbol, metaphor, movement and mystery, films, like dreams, enable us to participate in another reality, and, through that participation, to be transformed. The films listed here all contain,depict, explore or revolve around dreams or dream imagery. Titles with gold jewels link to film reviews. Be sure and check out other dream film connections at the end of this page.
