Synopsis

A simple man begins to appear in millions of people's dreams at the same time

Paul Matthews is a professor who settled for a plain life as a hard-working family man. But when more and more strangers begin to recognize him as a figure from their dreams, Paul’s life takes a strange turn. He becomes increasingly famous and millions more people start seeing him in their dreams. But when those dreams turn to nightmares and Paul is still appearing in the sleeping minds of the nation, his own fame begins to take a toll.

Why To Watch Dream Scenario?

Rachel Ulatowski

JustWatch Editor

Perfect for fans of Nicolas Cage and A24 movies

Viewers who find Nicolas Cage irresistible in meta and satirical films like The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent and Renfield will love his collaboration with A24 for Dream Scenario. Cage gives one of his best performances yet by playing brilliantly into the absurdity and desperation of Paul Matthews. Fans of A24 will instantly recognize the studio's signature style in Dream Scenario's wildly imaginative and quirky premise. In addition to combining all the best elements of Cage and A24, Dream Scenario proves its relevance with a deep dive into the concept of parasocial relationships.
