Dream Scenario

Dream Scenario (2023) is Kristoffer Borgli's fantasy comedy you can watch online on iFILM. A dull biology professor suddenly starts appearing in the dreams of millions of strangers across the world.

Paul Matthews (Nicolas Cage) is balding, forgettable, and has spent years failing to finish a book about ant collective intelligence. Then fame arrives from nowhere: people recognize him on the street because he showed up in their sleep last night. At first Paul enjoys the spotlight and even hopes to land a publisher at last. But the dreams curdle, and the harmless background figure turns into someone everyone dreads. Julianne Nicholson, Michael Cera and Tim Meadows round out the cast.

Produced by A24, the film lets Cage balance pure farce against real dread in a sharp satire on viral fame and cancel culture. The ending lands far more bitter than the setup lets on. Stream Dream Scenario (2023) online on iFILM.
