The President of the United States is about to be assassinated in a dream where there is no morning after. Only one man can save him--a man who must plunge himself into the President's horrendous nightmare. Dennis Quaid stars as Alex Gardner, a psychically gifted young man recruited to help Dr. Paul Novotny (Max Von Sydow) and the beautiful Dr. Jane DeVries (Kate Capshaw) in an experiment to help patients disturbed by menacing nocturnal illusions. But corrupt high-ranking government official Bob Blair (Christopher Plummer) has darker plans for Alex's unusual powers. Soon Alex is propelled inside the President's nightmare, a frightening wasteland of nuclear holocaust, and locked in a fantastic battle that could only happen in a dream. This action-packed science fiction adventure will excite and thrill you with its unusual journey through the mind's most terrifying recesses. (oficjalny tekst dystrybutora)

This idea is great in itself. Influencing people through dreams. Also, the fact that such ability could be used to assassinate the president. These are simply good ideas that are even utilized in several great horror scenes. Unfortunately, overall it is indebted to Hollywood production, and I somehow wasn't captivated by it.

Is the similarity with the first Nightmare purely coincidental? It seems so, since Dreamscape was appeared in movie theaters just two months before, but even so the similarity (in details and overall, from the dream rules to the villain’s claws) is flabbergasting. Although this isn’t primarily a horror, but more of an adventure ride, during the dream sequences it certainly can be pretty scary (mainly the president’s second dream is an absolute delicacy in this respect). Plus the movie contains dreams that are not just nightmares, and they are also A-grade, in other words, all dreams here score full marks. Because they are inventive and each one is completely different, with their own stylization and poetry. From driving away kids’ nightmares to wet dreams (unfortunately only the censored version). Too bad that it wasn’t more successful in its day. Both the main protagonist and the entire idea would have warranted a sequel.
