Lathe of Heaven (2002)

His dreams control our destiny, but who controls his dreams?

Genre : Science Fiction

Runtime : 1H 34M

Director : Philip Haas

Synopsis

In a near future society a man claims that his dreams physically change reality. His therapist is confused at first but soon decides to use him for his own gain. The 2002 adaptation discards a significant portion of the original plot, some essential characters, and much of the philosophical underpinnings of the book and the original PBS production. Ursula K. Le Guin disapproved of the A&E production, and stated that she found it "misguided and uninteresting".
