Laurence Fishburne is known for his roles in esoteric films like Event Horizon (1997).
In the last thread, I pointed out that "Fishburne" means a stream for fishing.

A couple of decades earlier, Peter Weir directed Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975).
The film is based on the 1967 book of the same name by Joan Lindsay.

It opens with a voiceover:
> What we see and what we seem is but a dream.
> A dream within a dream.
This is a reference to Edgar Allan Poe's poem "A Dream Within a Dream".
