12 Best Movie Dream Sequences (And What They Mean)

5. Spellbound

What happens: For this 1945 thriller Alfred Hitchcock took some professional advice when it came to the nutty dreams of Gregory Peck's amnesiac: surrealist artist Salvador Dali. The dream he describes to Ingrid Bergman is chock full of classic psychoanalytic symbols - lots of eyes watching over him, gambling, scissors, attractive women - that gets shrugged off as "wishful dreaming". I wonder what Dream Moods has to say about that...? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzxlbgPkxHE What it means: "To dream that are gambling suggests that you are too impulsive and relying too much on fate. You are not taking responsibility for your own decisions or actions. Alternatively, the dream symbolizes risk-taking activities." To be fair to him, the guy's an amnesiac. He can't remember most of his decisions or actions. "To dream that you are using scissors denotes decisiveness and control in your waking life. You need to get rid of something in your life. It also represents your ability to cut things or people out of your life. Perhaps you are being snippy about some situation." He needs to get rid of his amnesia, yes. "To see a faceless figure or person in your dream indicates that you are still searching for your own identity and finding out who you are. Perhaps you are unsure of how to read people and their emotions. Therefore, you are expressing a desire to know and understand these people on a deeper level." YES HE IS AN AMNESIAC, I GET IT DALI.
