It’s a daydream, and you know it when it starts, but the big finale of An American in Paris.
The making of the dream scene in Living With Oblivion had a great rant from Tito (Peter Dinklage) when Steve Buscemi’s character had him playing a dwarf in a dream:
Weird dream sequences always make me think of that.
Hey, that’s just what I came in to post about. (BTW, Living in Oblivion is a great movie all around - I highly recommend it.)
Here’s the videoof that scene.
The tricky thing with dream sequences is that, when you’re actually dreaming, all sorts of weird things are going on… But at the same time, while those weird things are going on, your brain is still telling you that it’s all perfectly normal. Without some sort of direct neural interface, this is impossible to depict in art, but at the same time, it’s right at the very essence of dreaming.
The “Dreams” episode of MAS*H
I found the dream sequences in Inception well done. 
Which one? There have been over a dozen movies by that name.
“Far Beyond the Stars” in Deep Space Nine was a good one.
Al Bundy’s Christmas Carol dream starring Sam Kinison
When Gilligan dreams he climbs the beanstalk to get the Goose that Lays the Golden Eggs was wahsome.
Golden Girls had an episode in which Blanche’s dead husband reappeared, claiming he’d had to fake his death years before and begged her forgiveness, and in the subplot Dorothy was being pursued romantically by Lyle Waggoner and Sonny Bono. The fact that it all turned out to be Blanche’s dream was what made the episode NOT suck, and was actually a bit poignant instead.
The only dream sequence that does not make me sigh in resignation is the walnuts episode from The Dick Van Dyke Show.
mmm
Dick Van Dyke had some decent ones, the one with the Walnuts, the one where Rob thought he was losig his hair (that was a dream in a dream), the one where Rob thought Laura was turning him into a puppet and the one of the last episodes where Rob went under at the dentist and dreamt he was in the old West
Um, spoiler alert?
The first two hours of Mulholland Drive.
All the Gilligan dreams were great.
The Wizard of Oz.
I generally hate dream sequences in movies/tv and also dreams in novels.
But there was a cute dream sequence in an episode of Frasier. In fact, it was called “The Impossible Dream.” Frasier had a recurring dream and in one iteration he was in bed with Gil Chesterton from the station. But the best part was when he was in bed with Freud himself.
Yep! Big Lebowski, Twin Peaks and the dance sequence from Moonlighting to “Big Man on Mulberry Street.”
Robert Altman made (at least) two movies that, while not having discrete dream ‘sequences’, were essentially dreams throughout. Phrased differently, both movies seemed liked dreams.
If you can ever pick them up, go for it! They are both amazing flicks - what movies and film-making are about (IMNSHO).
I think you both mean Restless. 
I agree, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything that captures the feeling of dreaming (randomness, sudden “scene switches,” and seemingly-logical events/ situations that make no sense once you wake up) as well as this episode.
