There are many films about dreams, and Richard Linklater's Half Dream and Half Awake Life is satisfactory to me, it reminds me of Masaaki Yuasa's Masaaki Yuasa, in which the protagonists of both works meet many characters after experiencing death (or as if dead, consciousness is trapped in a different dimension), and raise doubts about existence, freedom and constraint, individual and collective, God and human beings. The style of "Half Dream and Half Awake Life" was very unaccustomed at first, the whole film was floating and floating (space and environment and character shape have been changing), there is no way to anchor, but in the understanding that this movie can be an awake dream (or memory backtracking before death), the floating background and constantly changing shapes become very interesting, consciousness is originally flowing, in real life we are always subject to the constraints of entities and dogmas, but in consciousness, space and time and objects no longer have substantive significance. Space, time and objects are left with the only hint of "where are you".
