Living Dream: Difference between revisions

== [[Literature]] ==

* In the fifth book of [[Narnia]], there's an island where dreams come to life. {{spoiler|This is not a good thing, because all people sometimes have nightmares.}}

* [[Ursula K. Le Guin]]'s ''The Lathe of Heaven''. George Orr has effective dreams that can change reality.

** Type 3. When asked to dream of world peace, he dreams up space aliens who invade the Moon and later attack the Earth.

* ''[[Labyrinths of Echo]]'' has an involuntary/suicidal variety - the phenomenon dubbed "Terror Of Mages". A non-existent entity greatly feared by someone very powerful occasionally materializes nearby and acts according to one's expectations - and if it was something nice, it won't be feared, would it?.. As a phantasm continuously feeding on its creator's power, it's near-impossible to stop for anyone else; conversely, said creator ''could'' destroy it pretty much by looking at it funny, but usually is convinced that fighting this thing is hopeless and too busy freaking out to do anything about it, or even understand what's going on.

 

* ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]'' has an episode where Sisko falls in love with a mysterious woman who just keep disappearing. Turns out she's a energy lifeform without a mind of her own: She's a telepath's mental projection, existing only as a living dream while the real woman is in a kind of coma-like dream.

* There were a couple of episodes with similar plots on ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''. In one the monster was a child's nightmare version of his Little League baseball coach.
