spoilers, i guess, though it's difficult to "spoil" in any meaningful sense. |

Date: July 18th, 2018 9:08 PM Author: smoky 180 athletic conference Time travel is as stupid a narrative device as the dream sequence. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4029730&forum_id=2#36455791) |
|
Date: July 18th, 2018 9:10 PM Author: garnet resort There’s nothing wrong with the dream sequence. Unless you mean the “it was all just a dream” and protagonist wakes up in a cold sweat thing, that’s just cliche. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4029730&forum_id=2#36455804) |

Date: July 18th, 2018 9:13 PM Author: smoky 180 athletic conference If dream sequences were accurate, then nothing would make sense. There have been depictions of surrealistic dreams, but usually it's just a way to depict an alternate timeline that is undreamlike in its consistency and realism.

Date: July 18th, 2018 9:35 PM Author: smoky 180 athletic conference Good for you, Joseph of the many colored coat.
Most of my dreams consist of unrealistic stuff like forgetting I had signed up for a class I never went to, so I fail it and can't graduate. Or walking into class and it's the final exam which I haven't prepared for. Or being chased by a monster with a countdown to survival except my legs won't move, etc. |

Date: July 18th, 2018 9:37 PM Author: coral temple partner Those first two may be "unrealistic," but they make sense. They're not really surreal (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4029730&forum_id=2#36456039) |
|
Date: July 18th, 2018 9:39 PM Author: smoky 180 athletic conference No they don't. How could I forget that I was enrolled in a class in my final term? That's only plausible in dream logic. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4029730&forum_id=2#36456067) |

Date: July 18th, 2018 9:17 PM Author: garnet resort Now I know what you’re saying. Yes, the “dreams” that are just alternate timelines within the same cohesive reality of the waking world are stupid. But when they are depicted with dream logic or if the entire film is like one big dream (like most Lynch movies) that is cool.
