Weekend Read, our app for reading scripts on your phone, features a new curated collection of screenplays each week.

This week, we look at movies about dreams – how their un-reality can be a cinematic window into a character’s subconsciousness, and allow writers to imagine things we’ve never seen before.

Our collection includes:

A Dangerous Method by Christopher Hampton
A Nightmare on Elm Street by Wes Craven
Black Swan by Mark Heyman and Andrés Heinz and John McLaughlin
Dream Scenario by Kristoffer Borgli
Inception by Christopher Nolan
Last Night in Soho by Edgar Wright & Krysty Wilson-Cairns
Mulholland Drive by David Lynch
The Cell by Mark Protosevich
Total Recall by Ronald Shusett & Dan O’Bannon
Vanilla Sky by Cameron Crowe

Read these and other featured collections only on Weekend Read 2, available on all Mac and iOS devices. Download for free!
