Fellini's 8 1/2

First 3 or 4 minutes is one of the best dream scenes on film.

Akiro Kurosawa's Dreams

8 dream sequences which go from childhood to old age. Kurosawa is a master of film from Japan, with such huge hits as The Seven Samurai.

Hitchcock's Spellbound

Sequence comes perhaps 2/3's of way through film. This older film has great characterization of Freudian psychiatrists, one of whom is talking to the patient during his recounting of a dream: "The more cockimamy, the more scientific." Perhaps more of a spoof now. Salvadore Dali helped design dream scene. Stick to painting, Sal.

Risky Business

very early on in movie. You want full on wishfulfillment, you got it. And some interesting condensation/juxtaposition to boot.

Dali w/ Louis Buenell Un Chien Andalou (A Delusion Dog)

Suggested by Reed.
