Nightdreams

1981

Stephen Sayadian

Nightdreams is a 1981 American pornographic film that is often noted for its vastly surrealistic plot and scenes. The film was co-written by Jerry Stahl (under the pseudonym "Herbert W. Day") and Stephen Sayadian (under the psuedonym "Rinse Dream"), best known for their later Café Flesh and the non-pornographic collaboration, Dr. Caligari.

Two scientists use electric jolts to induce a woman named Mrs. Van Houten with surreal and erotic dreams. After a set of strange scenes ranging having sex with a man inside a Cream of Wheat box to a trip into the abyss of Hell, it is revealed that the woman receiving the jolts of electricity was the boss of the two scientists the whole time.
