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

  • Dr. van Straaten: Mr. Craig, can you describe what happens in your dream?

    Walter Craig: Well, not in detail. But it always starts exactly the same as when I arrived, just now. I turn off the main road into the lane. At the bend in the lane, the house comes into view, and I stop as I recognize it. Then I drive on again. And Foley meets me at the front door. I recognize him, too. And then, while I'm taking off my coat, I have the most extraordinary feeling. I nearly turn and run for it, because I know I'm going to come face-to-face with the six...

    Sally O'Hara: Well, you've only come face-to-face with five of us so far, not counting Eliot.

    Walter Craig: That's right, five of you. There is a sixth person who comes in later.

    Dr. van Straaten: Can you describe this late arrival?

    Walter Craig: It's an attractive girl with dark hair.

    Dr. van Straaten: [laughing] Is that all you can tell us about her?

    Walter Craig: She comes in quite unexpectedly and says something about not having any money.

    Eliot Foley: A penniless brunette, eh?

    Sally O'Hara: How romantic! Do you fall madly in love with her, Mr. Craig?

  • Hugh Grainger: Let's get this straight, Doctor. You won't for a moment admit the possibility of foreseeing the future?

    Dr. van Straaten: Not for a moment.

    Hugh Grainger: Well, you'd say I'm a pretty ordinary, down-to-the-earth sort of person, wouldn't you?

    Dr. van Straaten: I refuse to commit myself. Why?

    Hugh Grainger: Well, when it comes to foreseeing the future, something once happened to me that knocks your theories into a cocked hat. Something I'll not forget to my dying day. As a matter of fact, it very nearly was my dying day.
