DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
David Lynch United States

His surrealist films like 'Mulholland Drive' and 'Eraserhead' blur the boundaries between sleep, dreams, and waking consciousness to explore psychological fragmentation.

 Kongkiat Khomsiri Japan

His works 'Paprika' and 'Perfect Blue' obsessively examine the dissolution between dreams and reality, insomnia, and the subconscious mind.

 Charlie Kaufman United States

Films like 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' and 'Synecdoche, New York' explore fragmented consciousness, memory loss, and dreamlike states of confusion.
