Cinema has flirted with the fantastic since its origins, but the most potent and penetrating explorations of the unfathomable world of the unconscious can be found in artists' work. Essentials: Dreams collects together the mythic, the nightmarish and the psychedelic to present pioneering artists' wondrous visions, revealing cinema in all its magical intensity.
