1984 Directed by Joseph Ruben
A government funded project looks into using psychics to enter people's dreams, with some mechanical help. When a subject dies in their sleep from a heart attack, Alex Gardner becomes suspicious that another of the psychics is killing people in the dreams somehow and that is causing them to die in real life. He must find a way to stop the abuse of the power to enter dreams.

in 2015 i gave this 3.5 stars cuz i didnt know who russell targ was and watched it (prob drunk) expecting more of the stop-motion snakeman as seen in fangoria. instead the first thing onscreen is the WTC going up in flames & "even the presidency is not exempt from the flu." oneironautical transmission is a weapon of war: in 1983, under the direction of hal puthoff at SRI, researcher ingo swann had a breakthrough- the accurate model of how collective unconscious communicates (target) information to conscious awareness thru aesthetic culture & psychotherapeutic "simstim" technology.
who are the people in your dreams? half-star off for the gentile captioner who doesnt know…
Has anyone seen this? This is one of those movies that if I had seen as a young boy, I would probably have a much a higher rating attached to it. As it stands though, uggghh it’s sooooo old. I say that because the period special effects, of which there are many, really stand out like a sore thumb. Including: Nuclear holocaust as well as a snake/human monster villain which looks equally awesome and terrible.
Basically it’s about a bunch of psychics who have dream fights and Dennis Quaid is the main dude but there is also Cristopher Plummer AND Max von Sydow, so the cast is pretty bangin.’
This is copied right from the IMDB description: “experimenting with the…
You too, Fukota?
Efforts to find the snakeman of my dreams have continued to disappoint me, so instead I turn to the snakeman of Eddie Albert's dreams (Larry Cedar FTW).
Dreamscape operates as the OG Paprika/Inception - seeing Dennis Quaid drafted into a government funded program dealing with dream manipulation, only to have shadowy operatives hope to use it for assassination attempts. The dream sequences are wildly inventive and frequently funny. At the same time, the nightmares have enough memorable horror set-pieces that if this didn't give you anxiety as a child, you should let it as an adult.
Choosing sides between Max Von Sydow and Christopher Plummer? As close as you will ever get to a Skyrim movie.
Dreamscape: Putting off potential viewers with its shitty Indiana Jones rip off poster since 1984!
Anyway, The Dead Zone meets The Fury meets Scanners meets Nightmare on Elm Street and it's fucking rad.
Seemingly lost in 1984's adventure movie shuffle between "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" and "Gremlins," Joseph Ruben's "Dreamscape" deserves mention as another rousing genre spectacle from that year. Starring Dennis Quaid as a psychic able to enter people's dreams, the film combines science fiction conventions, a great cast, and an earnest-toned adventure to appealing effect.
A mid-budgeted science fiction adventure, "Dreamscape" is full of strengths. Its story provides a compelling foundation, following Quaid's devil-may-care psychic as he is hired by a government agency to enter people's dreams as they sleep. Faced with an adversary who can do the same, Quaid's protagonist becomes an in-dream protector, keeping the dreaming out of harm's way.
Quaid, a few year's away from…
Dreamscape takes it's ambitious premise and applies a thick glossy sheen of cheesy 80s madness all over it. A tonally bizarre film that feels like a clumsy mixture of a sci-fi/adventure/dorky Dennis Quaid odyssey of shennanigans. A sneaky little film comprised of some killer cheapo psychadelic dream sequences amongst a lot of corny scientific/conspiracy mumbo jumbo. Less mumbo more dream sequences!
"CLOSE YOUR EYES AND THE ADVENTURE BEGINS."
A secret government project has been experimenting with psychics entering people's dreams. I like where this is going! When one of the individuals dies it is suspected that a psychic is entering people's dreams to kill them! This sounds like another film from the same year hmmmmm. Now it's up to these…
Sorta like Dead Zone, but with dreams. Sorta like Brainstorm, but more breezy. Sorta like Communion but with Luther from The Warriors and without the aliens.
Picked up the scream factory blu, cool dream sequences plus snake man for the win!
A trip into various people's dreams or nightmares captures the mysterious qualities that make them seem so real and yet kind of warped. Dennis Quaid has psychic powers that enable him to share in the dreams of others and help them overcome their fears and anxieties, but the academic research he's involved in is also a top secret US government funded program run by Christopher Plummer, who's a scary top national security guy with access to the president played by Eddie Albert. Albert's been having nightmares of Washington DC devastated by nuclear annihilation lately, too. The film walks a line between the dream sequences and reality with some cool action sequences in both realms plus David Patrick Kelly as a punk psychic acting kind of like he did in The Warriors.
This is the first Dennis Quaid film I've logged on Letterboxd?! What am I doing with my life.
Yes, I love Dennis Quaid. Not as much as Kurt Russell, but still quite a lot. He's been in loads of films I've liked and has cheered up a few that I might not have liked otherwise. He's a good guy, I would like to see him in more films these days, or at least some films that I care about. No point in him being cast by Chris Nolan or someone else I couldn't give a shit about.
Dreamscape is one of the earliest ones I've seen him in now and you can see here why he was…
Day 3. A horror film starring Eddie Larbert.
This poster pulled me in, its got the raiders of the lost ark appeal. It's not quite the same adventure but there is a heart pulled out.
The jump into a dream was the appeal and dream scenes made this enjoyable. It was like leaping through someones eye, and the dreams are great to watch (a Freddy feel). Snakeman done in stop motion is a 🌟
sorry but ur not working out as a world leader; what we really need is someone who will spend their every dreaming moment with a fist suspended over that button, grinning and thinking 'if they won't all live in my preferred totalitarian regime, NOBODY gets to live!!'
...But also, 'oh so ur going to ...what, have the cops drive by my house a few times a night?! lmao ty so much mr president!'
Good call me, for not accidentally landing on this nightmare fuel while my parents weren't home as my zombie apocalypse dreams are already bad enough, ty (though curiously, those have been replaced by my in a crowded place and oops not wearing a mask dreams)
Well, goodnight everyone!
