Dream Level 1 – Lawnmower Man 1992 – Flowers for Algernon
- Snuffles gets smart… Jeff Fahey gets smart. There’s a connection.
- Rick makes Snowball. Pierce Brosnan makes Jeff Fahey. There’s a scientist thing!
- Brandon watched too many shitty things as a kid to get this reference (nice)

- “It’s going to be a lot like Inception, Morty, but this is going to make sense.”
- Incept the idea to get As in math…
- (I love how Rick lets Morty collapse on the ground, but then gets all comfy in a beanbag chair before he starts the dream)
- Dream bedrock vs Limbo
- “It’s like Inception so if it seems confusing and stupid, so is everyone’s favorite movie.”
- It really seems like Dan doesn’t like Inception
Dream Level 3 – Nightmare on Elm Street – 1984
- Scary Terry
  - You can run but you can’t hide, BITCH
    - Best Freddy Krueger BITCH lines
    - Bon Appetite, Bitch

  - That 80’s synth horror music
  - 1-2 Freddy’s coming for you… AB his name is scary terry, CD he’s very scary EF He’ll design your death JK He’ll really ruin your day… QR, you won’t get very far
