From Alwyn Eades
Feedback mentions recursive dreams (28 July). There is a film on this theme, or perhaps its inverse. In Les Belles de Nuit, made in 1952 and directed by René Clair, the young hero gets into trouble, goes to sleep to escape, and dreams. In this dream he gets into trouble once more and so goes to sleep to escape…
In each dream he is prompted by an old man telling him “it was much better in my day”, so each dream takes him one generation back. He ends up in the Stone Age.
