the Stuff Dreams are made of...

Have you ever had a dream about a movie that doesn’t exist, or an existing movie with a dreamy twist? Discuss and share your experiences here.

I’ve only had about two or three of these kind of dreams, but they’re all really fun. Here’s my most vivid and rememberable one for the fictional movie Spider Shows.

(open up to a dark theater full of people. A coke commercial plays on the screen. Cuts to two people in the seats, a man and a woman, eating popcorn with their eyes fixed on the screen. The light from the film illuminates what appears to be the underside of a car that looms overhead. Nobody of course notices.)

NARRATOR: How would you like…

(Deep, ominous music plays as the camera cuts to right above the people in the theaters. Five cars, all covered in rust and cobwebs lower themselves down and stop about twenty feet above the moviegoers. Thier headlights turn on.)

NARRATOR: To live in the theater…

(Shows inside of one of the cars. The entire interior is also covered in cobwebs and the windows are cracked and dusty. three teenagers, two male, one female, all with antennae coming out of thier heads. They look at each other and nod triumphantly.)

NARRATOR: And watch movies for free all day long?

(Cut back to overhead of the man and woman seen previously. Both turn their heads around and upwards to see the cars. Spiderwebs shoot down and grab them both, yanking them up and out of veiw. Cuts to below the seats to show the bucket of popcorn spilling to the ground. Ominous music stops.)

NARRATOR: Not if you’re a spider.

(Shows ‘Coming Soon To Theaters’ in big white letters. Heavy metal music plays in the background as it cuts to several people running through what appears to be an underground mine, also coated in cobwebs. Cuts to a giant stop-motion, Tim Burton-esqe cockroach wrapped in webbing, who then pulls his cheeks apart with his front claws and sticks his tongue out. Cuts to the man and woman being led through the tunnels by a burly Bruce Campbell-like man with antennae growing out of his forehead and a torch in one hand.)

BRUCE CAMPBELL: (in a thick Austrailian accent) You cahn’t use ghass to kill spida’ eggs. (ECU of his face) Sucks, dunnit?

(Cuts to film title in large white letters decorated with cobwebs.)

NARRATOR: Spider Shows. Coming Soon to theaters.

Interesting trailer, but I don’t think it will be available in “realitywide”.

Of course I had things like that, specially while I was using a TV as alarm clock, I had dreams while listening to it before waking.

Some old movies and series(things shown in early morning that no one sees), sometimes seemed to be more perfect in my dreams than IRL… The morning news is better for waking up, but I prefer alarm clocks.

I dreamed once there was going to be a sequel to Evil Dead II. It was going to be called “Commando”. That doesn’t make any sense, I know!

I’d LOVE to see this quote on a real movie :happy:

Hmmm, I get this kind of thing with books. And on one occasion, a computer game. I can’t recall it ever happening with a movie, but I did have it with a TV show a few times!

The best one was “SpyGirl”, a REALLY tacky kid’s show about a girl who was unpopular and geeky in reality, but had a secret life as a spy superhero who was probably best described as a female Tarzan. Oh, the special effects were AWFUL, but that made it absolutely hilarious!

Never dreamt of a movie, but I did dream once of a music album that was to be released… It mustve been about a year and half ago, maybe more, I can remember I dreamt shakira’s new album was out, and the lead single was great – It was infact so great I STILL remember the tune and part of the lyrics of that song, even when it is as of yet totally unwritten… Maybe I should write it? I liked it alot, maybe I can turn it into a big hit :tongue: Then again, a couple of months later shakira’s TRUE new album did come out and was most of a dissapointment. Thats when your dreams are better than reality.

While I don’t recall any dreams about nonexistent movies, music or even books, I got quite a lot of that ‘twisty’ ones. I especially remember dreams I had several years ago, that from begging to end were fully animated :smile: Usually they were about the Spiderman or Batman of the future series.

Tizzy: And that’s good about dreams - when you have them, you won’t be disappointed :wink:

Sounds like a good movie. I have to remind myself to go see it in one of my LD’s.
lol
I had dreams about a ‘fake’ television show called Some Mother’s Do 'Ave 'Em, starring Michael Crawford(the first Broadway Phantom), and he played a very clumsy character named Frank Spencer. It was hilarious, too, and I dreamed a lot of episodes until I came across a Phantom of the Opera documentary talking about Michael Crawford, and it mentioned that show, so I looked it up on YouTube, and the episodes I dreamed about were real!
I was freaked out, and convinced I was psychic…
