We're in possession of reaper's sleep, it's nothing for any of us to speak

In waking life I am having a terrible time writing about movies I have seen as well as everything else, so I consider it unnecessary that in last night's dreams I was having a terrible time writing about four out of five movies that don't even exist. I wanted to include them in the same post because they had formed a natural grouping by theme, even though I had encountered them through different means over the course of the last several months. All were British films; the earliest was from the 1930's and had a kind of phony war feel, the latest was from the 1950's and set in a manor house with children and directed by Joseph Losey, Michael Redgrave had been involved with one of the three from the 1940's. The one that really exists was Ealing's Went the Day Well? (1942), which in waking life I haven't even seen (and evidently had mixed up with Launder and Gilliat's I See a Dark Stranger (1946), since in the dream a major cast member was Deborah Kerr). The shared theme of all five movies was Nazi home invasion. Now I wonder what that can possibly say about my state of mind.

Brains are very unfair like this sometimes. I hope Michael Redgrave and Deborah Kerr disposed of the Nazis... :-/

Heh. Thank you. I think they were in different movies, which I feel was a tremendous oversight on the part of my brain.

It says you need more restful dreams.

No disagreement. Please feel free to take up this quarrel with my brain.

I think it might say a lot about the state of our country.

That too.

I'd recommend seeing 'went the day well' if you get the chance as I think you'd find it interesting.

I just finished watching it! (It was handily on FilmStruck.) I hope to write about it tomorrow when I have slept and survived a new therapist's appointment.

[edit] It took me two days to get the time for it, but I did.
