Wiki.

I Dreamt I Woke Up is a 1991 Irish short film directed by John Boorman. It stars John Hurt and Janet McTeer as well as Boorman and his son Charley.

Commissioned by the BBC as part of "The Director's Place" series, the essay/documentary explores the home and neighbours of John Boorman and the mystical qualities of the Wicklow Mountains as well as their influence on some of Boorman's films, namely "Excalibur", "Deliverance" and "Hope And Glory". The film features Garech Browne and his Luggala Estate, and also refers to Garech's younger brother Tara Browne.
