Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness: 24 WTF Moments
20. Dreams Are Echoes Of The Multiverse
One of Multiverse of Madness' more interesting ideas is that people's dreams are in fact windows into the lives of their multiversal selves - hence why Strange dreamed of America and Defender Strange at the start of the movie.
While it's a concept ripe for philosophical examination, it ultimately gets a pretty superficial treatment in the film.
It's good for a big laugh, though, when Wong (Benedict Wong) realises with horror that his recurring nightmare of being chased naked by a clown did, in fact, happen to a variant Wong out there somewhere.
The implications of dreams being real events taking place elsewhere in the multiverse are potentially staggering, so hopefully a future film or Disney+ series will circle back to it.
