Show Notes

When making his screen adaptation of Frank Herbert's Dune, Denis Villeneuve opened the film with a line not in the book -- but at the same time, recognizing the importance of dreams to the story. 

 

Both the novel and film rely on dreams in the same way the great texts of world religions have. In this episode, we look at how dreams aid the storytelling of prophets and messiahs, giving glimpses of things to come. (Or in the parlance of Hollywood: sneak previews.)
