Quote:
All the movies you reference there were made well after Jacob's Ladder.
Except Total Recall, which was more or less released at the same time. I haven't read the Phillip Dick story which inspired it, but I figure at least some of the elements of "What is dream, what is reality?" must have come from his story (though I understand virtually the whole second half of the movie was completely invented for the movie).

But surely this theme has been around much longer than 1990. I know that at least this story which the directory for Jacob's Ladder said the movie certainly resembled, was written in 1962.

You've got me thinking now, though . . .
