Based on Lovecraft?

I happened to have just finished HP Lovecraft's short story "Celephaïs" before watching this episode. The dream world in the Lovecraft's story is quite fantasical (as opposed to Willoughby) but the plot is strikingly similar. The main character is tired of this world and is searching for a city he once saw in a dream. In the end the man takes a leap off a cliff in a dream-like state (instead of a train) to enter the dreamworld he is seeking. The man's body is found at the bottom of the cliff but his spirit continues living in the dreamworld. BeastmasterGeneral 16:03, 2 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

The 3 songs being played were all Stephen Foster songs that were popular in the 1800s (Oh Suzannah, Camptown Races and Beautiful Dreamer). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.110.33.144 (talk) 04:34, 26 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

Rap piece by The Seige

Latest comment: 2 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I just came upon this song by The Seige (here on Youtube), whose lyrics tell exactly the story of this episode. I don't know if it's worthy of Wikipedia. Maybe it could be included in the "Popular culture" section ?

By the way, that section is somewhat intriguing in that The Twilight Zone is in itself a piece of pop culture. There may be something about (popular) culture incessantly canibalising itself, but that's quite another story.
