hearing someone else’s dream is boring
but watching someone else’s dream in a
movie that’s a different story
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
greatest dream sequences in movies but
how do I get back the weird naked Indian
cool for this list we’re looking at
impressive dream sequences in movies but
we are not including films in which the
dream is essentially the entire film let
me ask you a question what’s next for
Jeff Spicoli headed over to Australia
and the Hawaiian internationals mimic
are gonna wing on over the London jam
with the stones you guys are the
writer’s to
number ten no problem too big for max
Rushmore I just put that up as a joke
that’s probably the hardest geometry
equation in the world everyone dreams of
being able to do something that
demonstrates their superiority that same
superiority that the rest of the world
somehow has missed
I guess if anyone here can solve that
problem I’d see to it that none of you
ever have to open another math book
again for the rest of your lives
underperforming high school student max
Fisher’s dream is of nonchalantly
solving an incredibly complicated math
problem winning the praise and respect
of his teacher and fellow students you
got it Wow too bad it was just a dream
max
number nine things and memories fall
apart Eternal Sunshine of the spotless
mind miss miss kruczynski was not happy
and she wanted to move on we provide
that possibility coming off an ill-fated
love affair Joel barish enters a program
that will erase any memories of his
recent relationship ok as the process
takes place he relives key moments of
his past in a dream state
de set in a beach house in Montauk his
memories crumble as the beach house
crumbles and are being washed away just
as the incoming tide is washing away the
remains of the house I wish I’d stayed
to now I wish I’d stayed and ironically
this happens just as he’s getting a more
accurate perception of what went wrong
in his relationship I walked out walked
out the door no don’t like a scared
little kid I was like roughly had I
don’t know you were scared yeah watching
you that about me number 8 Nazi mutant
disturbance an American Werewolf in
London all right all right hold your
horses being turned into a werewolf just
might wreak havoc on one subconscious
newly bitten werewolf David Kessler
hasn’t quite realized what has happened
to him but his dream gives him a clue
when mutant Nazis interrupt a peaceful
family scene holding him hostage as he
watches the murderous family it’s a sign
that dangerous forces have gained
control of his life and when it turns
out to be a dream within a dream given
up long I’ve just had a nightmare he’s
further being told that he has no
control over his life anymore
holy shit
number 7 judgment is coming Terminator 2
Judgment Day in t2 Sarah Connor has a
horrible nightmare in which she
witnesses a devastating nuclear
explosion with horrifying images of
melting flesh especially children burned
to death on a playground
the horror of this vision prompts her to
take action to prevent it from coming
true even if that means murder nobody
and the realism of the blast and its
after-effects is startling Lee real and
has earned praise for its veracity as
Sarah puts it anybody not very two
million sunblock is gonna have a real
bad day get it number six a rose by any
other name is Angela American Beauty
I’ve been waiting for you suburban
family man Lester Burnham is obsessed
with his daughter’s friend Angela as
demonstrated by his erotic dreams about
her been working on I could tell I was
hoping he’d give me math very very dirty
Lester hates his job and feels his
marriage has become loveless so his
masturbatory imaginings about Angela are
an irresistible escape for him his
fantasies of Angela whether in a rose
petal filled bathtub or arriving
centrally on a canvas of petals are both
erotic Lee charged and seriously creepy
are you doing nothing you’re
masturbating
yes sure number five pink elephants on
parade
Dumbo why would you mother think of you
if she saw you crying like this sad
after visiting his imprisoned mother
Dumbo drinks from a bucket that has
become filled with champagne he falls
into a deep sleep haunted by ghastly
images of pink elephants on parade
shoo shoo get the sheep in this
intriguingly nightmarish sequence
elephants replicate endlessly growing
shrinking mutating and morphing
constantly
it’s a reflection of Dumbo’s distraught
state of mind and emotional turmoil but
it’s a delight for viewers all set to an
unforgettably catchy song I’m not the
type to make when things are odd or
things are clean and seeing things you
know the chase on the way take some away
I’m afraid need your eight elephants on
parade
number four everything goes right for
once
dumb and dumber
loyd Christmases dream is both hilarious
and a moment when viewers see into the
psyche of Lloyd’s character a wish
fulfillment dream all of a sudden the
childish things that Lloyd delights in
telling vulgar jokes lighting his farts
on fire receive applause and approval
he’s even able to demonstrate his
superiority to haughty master chefs a
previously unknown mastery of martial
arts
and of course he gets the girl almost
number three dreaming can be deadly a
Nightmare on Elm Street dreams and the
fear of them are the whole basis of this
long lived horror franchise teenagers
fall asleep and find they’re being
hunted in their dreams by a disfigured
killer
in the first film Johnny Depp’s
character dreams of his particularly
gruesome death which becomes
terrifyingly real when he is pulled into
his bed and transformed into a geyser of
blood
number two stealing into your dreams
inception this is a dream and you have a
safe full of secrets I need to know
what’s in that safe this film is
bursting with memorable dream moments

introduces us to the concept of
inception and the section where leading
character Dom Cobb and newbie Ariadne
control the dream landscape together
we’re dreaming you’re actually in the
middle of the workshop right now since
this is your first lesson and share it
maybe stay calm but the most memorable
is the dream sequence that takes up the
last act of Christopher Nolan’s
mind-bending movie no she she is not
real the group engages in corporate
espionage by entering a man’s
subconscious and it’s literally a dream
within a dream within a dream the top
level we open up his relationship with
its father say I will not follow in my
father’s footsteps then the next level
down we feed him
I will create something for myself then
by the time we hit the bottom level we
bring out the big guns needless to say
it’s confusing and by the end we’re not
even sure if everyone makes it out
