I think parts absolutely do not hold up (and some weren't good when it came out) but I think Click is my favorite of this.

Links Awakening

Mostly because you get so attached to the whacky world that it becomes somewhat depressing that it's all just a dream.

Twin Peaks

That might be a controversial one, because there are so many interpretations of what's even going on in that show, everything from sci-fi to mystical explanations and more, but it's been my interpretation for a while that the show is Laura's/Carrie's dream.

I don't generally like "it was all a dream" stuff because it's typically just a writing copout. "Oh hey look how crazy this episode is! PSYCH!" Or "hey look how insane our series was, JK we ain't explaining shit it was all a curazy dream!"

I do like the Doctor Who episode Amy's Choice in season 5. On the surface a dream episode but underneath a very lovely exploration of the darkness within the Doctor via The Dream Lord.

This, but also Gargoyles Future Tense which besides being intense has events of the dream occurring for real in some fashion.

The episode "Over the Edge" from The New Batman Adventures, though it's honestly kind of a cheat.

Batgirl gets gassed by Scarecrow and has a "dream" that she died and her father blames Batman for it and goes on a crusade against him for it, ending in Gordon and Batman falling to their deaths when Bane betrayed Gordon in the attempt to arrest Batman.

I really liked Awake. It was only one season but I thought they wrapped it up nucely, and it seemed like the obvious choice to have it end as "it was all a dream" because of the surrealist way they intertwined dude's two realities.

Are there multiple cuts of that movie? I only ever saw the "love conquers all" being a last flickering fantasy as he's getting lobotomized ending and assumed it was the only one.

This, since the dream is usually a cop out to avoid something upsetting that happened. The idea that reality is much, much, worse and the dream was the escape is a nice way of subverting the trope.

I thought I read there are some of the studio cuts still out there, certainly when it initially released but I wonder if Gilliam just went on a mad spree to get it erased from existence.

Strange I dont remember the Brazil ending being that way.

The ending I saw was they were in bed then the cops busted in and it cut to black as you hear guns shots, then credits. Weird that they cut the real ending on my copy I saw. I always thought that was a disappointing ending.

Damn, that sucks. I only saw Brazil once over twenty years ago and the 'true' ending was easily the most memorable part of the movie for me.

The Angel episode "Awakening" has an incredible spin on this. Bonus points because it's not just trippy for the sake of it but actually has in-universe function for a major plot.
