Does anyone remember a movie about a guy who could enter other people's dreams, but only if he was close in proximity to them? It came out in the late 80's/early 90's. I remember one scene where he enters a girls dream and they are on a train and he is able to control what happens in her dream - the danger is when the dreamer is able to figure out they can control their own dream. If anyone could help with the title of the movie, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

Sorry. I should have specified that it is not Dreamscape which came out in 2001 I believe. This movie is about a decade older, but has a very similar premise. Thanks.

Skywalker, Dreamscape came out in 1984. There was a dream scene with Dennis Quaid & Kate Capshaw riding on a train. Is it possible that you are confusing it with another movie from 2001? Dreamscape (1984) - IMDb (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087175/)

Sorry guys. You nailed it. It is Dreamscape. For whatever reason the link I looked up before posting listed the movie release date as 2001 and had a different description of the plot. I appreciate the help. Either of you have any idea what the answer is to my other question? I've been trying for 7 years to find the answer. Thanks!
