12 Best Movie Dream Sequences (And What They Mean)

2. Mulholland Drive

What happens: Most David Lynch films work on "dream logic", being a series of seemingly random and nightmarishly surreal scenes that fit together in a loose narrative that probably makes sense if you drink as much coffee or donate as much money to Transcendental Meditation as David Lynch. One of the few times we get a glimpse at an actual dream, though, is in Mulholland Drive, when a guy recounts a recurring dream to another guy in a diner and then sees that very dream behind a dumpster around the back. And it's bloody terrifying. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UozhOo0Dt4o What it means: "To dream that you are chased or followed by a monster represents aspects of yourself that you find repulsive and ugly. You may possess some fears or some repressed emotions. Try to confront the monster in your dream and figure out who or what aspect of yourself the monster represents." To be honest, I have no idea if that's accurate or not. I'm not about to start trying to understand what a David Lynch film means. I have things to do. So instead, here is another suggestion I got whilst searching the Dream Moods site for "monster": "To see Cookie Monster in your dream indicates that you need to eat more healthier and have a more balanced diet. Alternatively, the dream means that you need to show restraint and control." So there's a freebie for you.
