The Twilight Zone: Perchance to Dream (1959)
Season 1, Episode 9
4/10
Afraid to Dream
20 January 2014
Warning: Spoilers
Edward Hall (Richard Conte) visits the psychiatrist Dr. Eliot Rathmann (John Larch) that was recommended by his doctor and he explains that he is extremely tired since he has not slept for many days. Edward believes that if he sleeps, he will die and explains that he is dreaming in "chapters" with the evil Maya, the Cat Woman (Suzanne Lloyd) that will kill him in his next nightmare.

"Perchance to Dream" is a surrealistic episode of a man afraid to sleep and with a woman – Maya - that recalls Freddy Krueger, killing the man in his dreams (or nightmares). This is the weakest episode of "The Twilight Zone" so far. My vote is four.

Title (Brazil): "Além da Imaginação - Perchance to Dream" ("Beyond Imagination - Perchance to Dream")
