Dreamscape Movie Review

A doctor teaches a young psychic Dennis Quaid how to enter into other people's dreams in order to end their nightmares–but what if a rival psychic is causing those nightmares? The President of the United States (Eddie Albert) is the victim, suffering visions of nuclear holocaust designed to push him over the edge, and the hero enters the sleeping chief executive's dreams to try and undo the damage. Wild and remarkable premise peaks with a clash of mental titans within a White House bedroom silent except for the Presidential snoring. Worthwhile f/x include a stop-motion reptile man.
