The deep desire of the dream (the mirror of the story inside is a struggle of the dreamer, the mirror finally broken by his wife means being pulled back into the realm of reason by reality and the struggle between the puppet in the puppet show and the performer who gave him, A portrayal of no madness, no living, these two stories are relative) and fear (the struggle between different characters, the deep mutual struggle to the end, a struggle of all people against the dreamer to oppress the dreamer) and the connection with reality, also There are ego (the dreamer itself), id (multiple personalities of the dreamer's subconscious), superego (the dead and puppets in golf stories endow the irrational existence), consciousness (reason, the doctor in the dream and the dreamer himself) ) and the subconscious (people who believe in ghosts in dreams, things that are irrational and cannot be constructed with clear logic, but the second story is more typical), and the reincarnation at the end of the film Rationality is gradually expressed through the subconscious and then through the dream state, indicating that this is a mode of an infinite loop).
Very classic, take notes, you need to look at it carefully, and get inspiration from it, you can also use Freud to explain.

Dead of Night quotes

  • Eliot Foley: Apart from my bit of nonsense, the curious thing is that all of you, even Sally, seems to have had one of these extraordinary experiences

    Joan Cortland: Well, perhaps they aren't so extraordinary. Perhaps they happen to most people.

    Eliot Foley: Oh, you mean there's a ghost as well as a skeleton in everyone's cupboard.

    [laughs]

    Eliot Foley: That's a pretty thought!

    Walter Craig: And what's the ghost in your cupboard, Doctor?

    Dr. van Straaten: Well, there was one occasion in my professional career that made me wonder. Made me wonder quite a lot.

  • Dr. van Straaten: Of course! Dr. van Straaten. You're a psychiatrist. You always treat me. You'll treat me now, won't you?

    Walter Craig: You must forgive me; I don't quite understand the joke.

    Walter Craig: It isn't a joke. I only wish it were. I've seen you in my dreams. Sounds like a sentimental song, doesn't it? I've dreamt about you over and over again, Doctor.

    Dr. van Straaten: That hardly turns you into a mental case. After all, recurring dreams are quite common.

    Walter Craig: But how did I come to dream about you? I've never set eyes on you in my life.

    Dr. van Straaten: It's very likely you've seen my photograph in the papers. That's why my face seems familiar to you.

    Walter Craig: I don't think so. And even if it were, is that any reason why I should keep on dreaming about you? After all, you don't mean anything to me.

    Dr. van Straaten: Huh. Well, maybe an association of ideas. I may be linked with something that means a great deal to you.

    Walter Craig: Such as?

    Dr. van Straaten: I should have to psychoanalyze you to find that out.

    Walter Craig: But it doesn't end there. You see, everybody in this room is part of my dream. Everybody.
