    Best Dream sequence of the 80s has to be John Cusack's fast food nightmare set to Van Halen's "Everybody wants some" in Better Off Dead. #josswhedon

    Paprika is almost entirely dream sequence. In fact out of all these, the dream sequences in Paprika are the most pertinent to the plot which involves the development of technology which allows people to view other people's dreams. During the course of the movie, dreams and reality begin to merge. #josswhedon

    Considering the timelord matrix (a biochemical memory/information store) in classic Doctor Who, could the childhood nightmare inducing sequence of 4 and the master in "The Deadly Assassin" be counted.

    Or..( if only for the hands dragging him into the ground) The Sixth Doctor and The Valeyard in most of "Trial of a Time lord: Pt.13+14 : The Ultimate Foe" #josswhedon

    @Technogamer1992: I deliberately avoided any virtual worlds, which don't really count... and I tried to steer clear of artificially induced dreams generally. Those aren't "dream sequences" in the classic sense. #josswhedon

    I'm a little concerned how quickly I noticed it, but the Buffy episode you have listed is "Hush", not "Restless". "Restless" was the one that was all dream sequences. #josswhedon

    Really fun stuff!

    There are the dream sequences Rusty has of being in his mother's womb and eating his twin brother on The Venture Bros. - pretty disturbing! #josswhedon

    I really like the non-gallery format. You can actually see the selections (those little pictures are hard to see). It's a lot more readable than having to click through till you get where you want to go. If we only had some defaults we could set. #josswhedon

    I loved the last sequence in Brazil. Whatever else Gilliam does, he's got that movie.

    No Dreamscapes? Or is that too obvious? #josswhedon

    Oh Paprika! You guys rock for posting that. I love that film.

    It has probably one of the best lines I've heard in a movie in a long time:

    "Don't you think dreams and the internet are similar? They are both areas where the repressed conscious vents." #josswhedon
