The 20 Movies With the Best Dream Scenes in Movie History

Cinema is the perfect platform for dreams to be reproduced. Many filmmakers have tackled the challenge of accurately depicting our subconscious on the silver screen; most (hopefully all) of the most signature names attached to surreal films will be found here. These moments can be wacky departures from a story, or clue-riddled passages that make you try to piece together the plot. Some of these scenes come from works that are impossible to explain already, but they function as the cherries on top.
I want to focus on moments that are explicitly dreams or day dreams. Something like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, which is a spectacular work with incredible surreal moments, functions more as a delivery of one's mind being represented through symbolism, so that sadly won't be here. I looked more for moments that worked as either 1) a deviation from the regular story, or 2) a moment from a film that deviates heavily from how our life actually works.
