Whatever floats your boat...
The Speed of Dream
The song is Maximum Acceleration by Ultravox. The eyes in REM sleep, the animation of brain dendrites firing during dreams, and the EEG waveforms are from a Nova episode. The birds are from Winged Migration, the maniacs jumping into caves and the fish/dolphin sequences are from BBC nature shows.
The forest stuff is from the third Star Wars movie. The motorcycles are from a very good documentary called Faster. The skiiers and the avalanche footage are from On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
Many of the waves and all of the surfing footage are from Riding Giants. The cars are from Bullit, Diva, and a moment of Transporter. The gear shifting is from Transporter. The black and white footage of planes is from a PBS doc on breaking the sound barrier.
That's Matt Hoffman on the BMX bike from an ESPN special. The guy who *appears* to swap bikes going in opposite directions is from a U2 music video. The lighted tunnel is from Don't Move. I don't remember where I found the lonely cloud.

Dang it!! For some reason, your vids go all wonky when I play them. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Syd, I just played this from a library computer over their connection without problem. Don't know what is happening... You're part of the super-secret imaginary audience I make videos for.

WOW, what an amazing compilation of imagery! Very interesting concept too. I'm sure you know this, but sleep studies show that when we dream those intricate, detailed dreams that seem to last for hours, they are really lasting only a few seconds or minutes in real time. Our brains are amazing.

"WOW" is right. This is extremely cool, Geoff. The images MAKE the song kick-ass.

NJ, I've heard that about dreams. One thing I just found out is that we dream during non-REM sleep too, but it seems to be a different sort of dream.
Amy, I think the song has a dreamy quality--at least the lyrics do--but I wondered if it wasn't a little too much of its time. I guess you wouldn't even remember the John Fox version of Ultravox, being just 21 or 22 years old...
