Not a problem.

Sometimes quick and dirty is the best way to go.

Cheers!

Thanks Al,

That did the trick!  I just didn't want to really muck it up.  I just have a small case of CRS going on here.

Much Appreciated,

Dan

You might try something like this:

INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT

CHARACTER lays in bed, asleep, but not soundly.  He tosses and turns.


INT. BOARDROOM - DAY (DREAM)

Character stands, confronting ANTAGONIST across the boardroom table.

CHARACTER
You can't force this policy down the Board's throat!  I'll stop you!

ANTAGONIST
And who's going to help you?  Everyone else here has too much to lose!


INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT

Character thrashes, talking out loud while still asleep.

CHARACTER
You won't win!  I won't let you!


This, of course, is a suggestion.  There are more than likely dozens of ways to do it; this just seems to me to be the quickest and easiest.

Cheers!

Hi everyone,

I'm writing a scene where my protagonist is lying in bed, then begins to dream.  I want to show the dream as it's important to the story, but I am really not sure how to put it in the script.  I think I just need to use a normal scene heading, but I am not sure.  Also, I need to intercut back and forth between my character and his dream to show him reacting to what he is dreaming about.

Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks,

Dan
