We've all seen a movie or TV show where the main character has a silly dream that trickles into his or her real life. We see our favorite show’s character wake up from a dream and suddenly realize the course of action needing to be taken. Here’s a clip in the popular 90’s Will Smith show, The Fresh Prince of Bel Aire. In this episode, Will’s cousin, Carlton, is influenced by Will’s friends into acting like someone who he isn’t, and ends up getting in trouble with the law. When Will discovers that this is all a dream, he realizes how he needs to treat Carlton better.
We see examples such as these in everyday television and movies. In the movie “In Dreams”, Annette Bening plays a woman who dreams what crime a killer will commit next. She dreams of a little girl getting kidnapped and murdered. Soon after, her own daughter is kidnapped and murdered. Her dreams have meaning of what will happen. When watching these types of movies or television shows, we begin to wonder what it must be like to have these sorts of connections.
Popular culture has begun to fuel the myth into existence, as well as keep it alive.
