I found it ironic that Eddie Albert, a frequent costar of then president Ronald Reagan plays a fictional president in this conspiracy thriller that combines both science fiction and horror as its themes, leading to an intense film that shows that dreams that really do come true aren't from over the rainbow. Scientific research has made it possible to discover the dreams of the sleeping, and in some cases use it to destroy the dreamer.
The charismatic Dennis Quaid plays a dream expert who discovers the conspiracy and a plot against the president, having researched others whose dreams were being transferred into his mind while in the dreamscape. A fabulous supporting cast includes Christopher Plummer as the main villain, Max Von Sydow who discovers the plot and alerts Quaid and Kate Capshaw as a therapist. Some of the special effects are a little cheesy while a few of the dreams are genuinely scary. A very interesting thriller that gets more exciting and understandable as it goes along.
