Inception?

um, inception?
friday the 13th movies
back to the future if you count the future or past as another world?
same with butterfly effect

I’m kind of confused about the question so I might be answering this wrong but as far as something happening in a dream and then significantly effecting the decision making of the dreamer, Oklahoma! is the most famous example I can think of. The dream ballet.

The Lathe of Heaven has this theme. It was a book by Urusula Le Guin and a crazy made-for-PBS movie in the 70s. Main character George Orr, which is fun to say. It’s literally what you’re saying here – he has dreams and then wakes up to find the world has changed to match his dream.

Mullholland Drive? Also I feel like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind kind of fits this theme because it feels dream-like.

yes yes yes yes
i think i was thinking of inception or the matrix or mulholland drive or eternal sunshine of the spotless mind

thank you!

I read Hyperbole and a Half almost in one sitting on a slow day at work. I was laughing so hard, I was worried I might be having an emotional breakdown, but no, she’s just really funny when she talks about her dogs.

i’ve always found death cab for cutie to be soothing… that and Grizzly Bear are bands i listen to when i’m trying to fall asleep

I like Hildegard of Bingen. It’s enchanting but it won’t put you to sleep. Cool jazz is good too.

That’s good that you’ve found a way to work around it! I still can’t get over my extreme night-owl tendencies – I think I might have circadian rhythm sleep disorder. I can regulate it a little during the school year, but I tend to default back to staying up until 4 or 5 am at other times.
