It would probably be irresponsible of me to push this.

You never know when the Sandman will flip the jukebox record over from The Chordettes to Metallica, so prepare yourself to tackle that genre shift’s inevitable trouble whenever it does arise. Hopefully, you’ll have the people you love beside you to make it through the flawed façade of fantasy in order to tackle the uncertainty of tomorrow together.

Baloney Tony’s rancid vibes aside (Craig Robinson = innocent), this was a cute adventure into the chaotic emotions of adolescence. We become so desperate to maintain the familiarity of a status quo that we long for a life that actually deserves to be left in the past. So, those nightmares you’re having might not be preventing your wish from coming true after all. They might conversely be instilling you with the strength necessary to realize its “too good to be true” scenario isn’t quite the happy alternative you imagine. Reality’s inherent messiness will always trump the sanitized conformity of a utopian lie.

And, yes, hot dogs can feel pain.

IN YOUR DREAMS is a comedy adventure about Stevie (12) and her little brother Elliot (8) who journey into the absurd landscape of their own dreams. If the siblings can withstand a snarky stuffed giraffe, zombie breakfast foods, and the queen of nightmares, the Sandman will grant them their ultimate dream come true… the perfect family.
