The Good Night (2007)

The movie will follow a man's search for perfection in a world where life rarely measures up to the idealized images that constantly bombard us. Freeman plays Gary Shaller, who gained commercial success in previous years as a Guitarist in the fictional band "On The One". He is in a dull relationship, and working for his former band mate Paul, played by Simon Pegg, writing and recording commercial jingles. Gary eventually discovers that he is having lucid dreams about a woman named Ana, played by Penelope Cruz, with whom he is deeply infatuated. He aims to learn more about lucid dreaming by buying books and even attending classes taught by an eccentric lucid dreaming enthusiast, Mel (Danny DeVito). Gary eventually discovers that the girl about whom he is dreaming does, in fact, exist. Paul arranges the two to meet, but she does not meet up to the expectations that have been built up by Gary's dream version of her. He eventually continues to dream about her, and even soundproofs his apartment, and makes other efforts to be able to sleep longer, so that he can remain with Ana for longer periods of time. Eventually, feeling as though he is betraying his girlfriend Dora, played by Gwyneth Paltrow, he attempts to go back to her.
