Mulholland Dr (2001)
Dream a little Dream: Naomi Watts’ Betty fantasizes about foxy brunettes, taking control of auditions, Edith Head costume designs and living the Hollywood high-life.
Dr TF says... This means Betty hasn’t seen a Lynch film.
She can dream about being pink and perky all she likes (and she can certainly dream about lesbian romps – who are we to complain?), but there’s still all that scary shit behind Winkies’ diner and sickness in her soul.
Dr Andrew says... Much more than a dream, this is more like an elaborate construction of an alternative reality.
This fantasy details Betty’s innermost needs and allows her to inhabit a world where success, power and fulfillment can be achieved.
A traumatic incident can trigger disassociation like this, allowing reality to be avoided temporarily although rarely totally forgotten.
Now that's done, we're sit down for a good long chat with Dr. Andrew, and try to sort out some of our "issues". Why don't you leave us a comment in the mean time.

And, the dream shows that Deckard is a replicant, as Gaff leaves an origami unicorn with him at the end of the movie, which shows they know about the dream, which proves it is an implant :D

What? No Brazil? He fights the Samuarai... or Sam-you-are-i, because he's basically fighting himself, he's a part of the system he's fighting. http://www.igp-scifi.com
