My sleep is never this exciting. I wish I could dream like this.

Linklater and his animation collaborators have clearly had a lot of fun, morphing characters into their own conversational subjects, destabilizing their environs, throwing the material world into question.

It is a dream -or rather a series of waking dreams that slip into one another like those Russian dolls. It also takes computer animation in a new direction.

Waking Life looks stunning... Animation, thesis, questions!
