This was the first film in my work-in-progress 100 Films series. I wanted to simply use dream logic as directly I could. This is a stitch-together of two dreams. When I was 15, I had woken up in the middle of night and written down this dream scene without thinking at all and without putting any logic in. Normally when writing down dreams we tend to include additional logic to the dreams to turn them more into stories. Well, this is also not totally pure: ants and red stones were added on...

Problem with dream films is that they become totally introverted and mean nothing to others. I hope somebody can still get something out from this. Like psychoanalysing my mind when I was a lot younger.
