Review of Dreams

Dreams (1940)
5/10
Safety valve of the mind
25 February 2021
This short subject from John Nesbitt's Passing Parade series is way too short and superficial to offer anything beyond some entertainment value about Dreams. The consensus is that dreaming is a safety valve of the mind allowing us to act out in ways we can't do in reality.

There's also some theories that dreams can be prophetic. The case of Abraham Lincoln's dream about his own demise is cited. Years later after this film was out it was reported that Harry Truman had a dream vision of his mother who had just died in 1946.

There's a lot in this world unknown and unexplored, but this is way too simplistic a film for serious study.
