The Twilight Zone: Perchance to Dream (1959)
Season 1, Episode 9
6/10
Too normal and the ending doesn't make sense

Warning: Spoilers
There is nothing really supernatural in this episode. It's just about a man who has a heart condition and thinks he will die due to his nightmares.

Sorry, but that isn't very interesting.

The ending itself doesn't make a lot of sense either. Essentially, the man sees the woman from his dreams in real-life (though it is obviously a secretary and not Maya) so he jumps out a window to commit suicide (going DIRECTLY AGAINST what he said he wants to do, where he said he wants to stay alive) which ends up being inside a dream and kills him in real-life. This ending doesn't make sense because willingly kills himself. Why?

It is never explained and it goes against his character motivation of trying to stay alive. If you saw someone in real-life that you saw in a dream would your first reaction be to kill yourself? Most likely not.
