Dreams, nightmares and premonitions

This week we're diving into the surreal world of cinechallenges, where dreams, nightmares, hallucinations, and premonitions blur the lines between reality and imagination. Discover films that explore the depths of the subconscious, leaving you questioning what is real and what is merely a figment of the imagination.

As you embark on this cinechallenge, consider not only films whose plots revolve around these mind-bending themes but also those with unforgettable scenes or sequences that delve into the realm of dreams, nightmares, or hallucinations.

Look beyond the ordinary and immerse yourself in the extraordinary experiences that cinema can offer.
