Now, if you want to get into some trippy movies, go to: Amazon.com: "Best Dream Sequence Films". I made this list, so you know it's gotta be good.

According to Wikipedia, "A dream sequence is a technique used in storytelling, particularly in television and film, to set apart a brief interlude from the main story. The interlude may consist of a flashback, a flashforward, a fantasy, a vision, a dream, or some other element. Many writers and critics look down on dream sequences as a cheap way to explain a character's motives without actually integrating them into the plot, especially when it is used as an ending, wherein the main character wakes up and realizes that everything that had happened was all a dream. This is usually considered an anticlimactic and ineffective way to wrap up a story or to explain previous improbable situations. More commonly though, dream sequences appear in many films to shed light on the psychical process of the dreaming character. For instance in Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, the purpose of Pee Wee's dreams is to inform the audience of his anxiety and fear from losing his bike."


Mulholland Drive is at the top of my list. Most of the movie is a dream in which Betty, played by the extremely talented Naomi Watts, betrayed by her lover Rita in real life, imagines herself as Diane, a Hollywood ingenue/heroine rescuing the beautiful Camilla (Rita in real life). Her real life motives are more revenge oriented. The movie is full of idealization, mystery, plot turnarounds, and crazy, surreal David Lynch scenes. If you like an interactive movie full of symbolism and the subconscious mind, and a surprising lesbian love story (although, like the pulp fiction of the 50's, ultimately tragic) this gets my highest recommendation.
