Dreamscape (1984)

In the thrilling world of psychic research, Alex Gardner, a gifted 26-year-old, possesses abilities that defy the realm of the ordinary. Once a participant in a scientific study led by Dr. Paul Novotny, Alex mysteriously vanished seven years ago, desiring freedom from the constant entanglement of electrical probes and psychic investigations. Now, he's been leading a precarious life, leveraging his psychic talents to predict race track winners, a knack that has unfortunately attracted unsavory criminal elements eager for a slice of his lucrative gift. As fate would have it, Dr. Novotny reenters Alex's life with an enticing proposal – a groundbreaking approach to dream therapy. Through innovative electronic connections, Novotny has found a way for psychics to navigate the terrifying nightmares and beautiful dreams of others, aiming to alleviate their suffering. Alex, motivated by an escape from his criminal pursuers, Dr. Novotny's persuasive arguments, and an undeniable pull towards Novotny's associate, Jane DeVries, agrees to join the study. Unbeknownst to Alex, the project is backed by the government, with Bob Blair, a close friend of the President, as the liaison. As Alex immerses himself in the project, he begins to suspect sinister motives at play. Tommy Ray Glatman, another psychic, and Blair seem to diverge from the study's noble path, potentially exploiting the power to infiltrate dreams for their own nefarious purposes. This alternate agenda becomes all the more alarming when it's revealed the President is being haunted by recurring nightmares that are mysteriously influencing his political decisions. When a research subject succumbs to a fatal heart attack in his sleep, Alex grows more suspicious, fearing that someone may be murdering people within the dreamscape, leading to their real-life demise. Alex must navigate the shadowy corridors of subconscious terror to uncover the truth and halt the misuse of power, all while protecting his life and those of his new friends. His journey plunges him into a twisted labyrinth of dreams and deceit, where reality blurs and nightmares reign. Dreamscape is an electrifying exploration of the mind, where the battle to control dreams becomes a fight for survival.
