Dream Dialogue

Post by Jonah »

Taking most of these from another thread (viewtopic.php?f=29&t=3919) - much of this dialogue reminds me a lot of "and now I'm in this dream place" from Mulholland Drive. Maddy's one in particular gives me chills.

Most of these are from the original series - any other notable dream dialogue, in the original series, FWWM, Season 3, or the books? And do any of these take on more significance with the ending of Season 3?

    Acetylcholine neurons fire high voltage impulses into the
    forebrain. The impulses become pictures, the pictures
    become your dream. But no one knows why we choose
    these particular pictures.

Monica Bellucci:

"We are like the dreamer who dreams, and then lives inside the dream. But who is the dreamer?"
I have no idea where this will lead us, but I have a definite feeling it will be a place both wonderful and strange.

A number of years ago during a re-watch I tried to catch every use of the word "dream" or any derivative thereof. I know I didn't catch them all (like Donna telling Audrey to "dream on" or Cooper telling Diane about his dream of "large tasteless gumdrops" for instance). My list also doesn't include TPTR, but I think we all know the dream references there: "dream weaver," "still in dreamland?," Cole's dream talk and Cooper's "we live inside a dream," etc. So maybe I'll add that later.

So, just for fun . . .

Episode 12: Renault to Nancy "Is the girl asleep?
Nancy: "Dreamland."
Renault: Does she dream of fishes? Of dark lake beds and tangled weeds?
Episode 13: Cole to Cooper “Restless nights and uneasy dreams go with the territory”
Episode 15: CATHERINE (TAPE – speaking to Ben Horne) How often I've thought of you. You and that night we spent together lost in love ... when was that? Yes,I remember, it was the night Laura Palmer died. It seems so long ago, almost like a dream. Memory's so unreliable finally, maybe it was a dream, maybe it never happened. To tell you the truth, I can't be sure anymore.
Episode 16: DONNA (reading Laura’s words in her diary) February 21st. Last night I had the strangest dream. . . . Even if it was only a dream, I hope he heard me. No one in the real world would believe me.
Cooper: Laura and I had the same dream.
[An aside: in a variant script Cooper also says : "But in her dream I was Mike." Which is very curious.]
Cooper to Gerard (Mike) Bob was in my dream. So was Laura Palmer. So were you. And Laura dreamt about me the night before she died. The same dream. I need to go back there and unlock my dream.
COOPER to Truman Laura told me. In my dream.
Episode 20: RENAULT to Cooper Their simple dreams have become a nightmare. What's more death, after all? Maybe yours will be the last. Maybe you brought the nightmare with you.

Episode 27: Major Briggs (answering Earle's question "Now, when did you first see the hieroglyph in Owl Cave?": "In . . . in dreams"
