Leonardo DiCaprio Reveals Monster Nightmare
Leonardo DiCaprio The actor can currently be seen in Inception, about a world where people can steal ideas from other people’s dreams. Leonardo has previously said he rarely has night visions himself, but when he does they tend to be abstract.
He has now revealed he is plagued by the same nightmare, and thinks it might be fuelled by his lifestyle. Leonardo is private and likes to keep his personal life to himself, so spends a great deal of time dodging photographers. “I rarely remember my dreams but I have had some recently where I was being attacked by some sort of creatures and I was able to repel them with the very large hands that I had,” he recalled. “It felt like it was an analogy for the way I deal with the paparazzi.”
Leonardo has previously revealed he had unnerving nightmares about mass murder when he quit smoking. He thinks they were caused by nicotine patches, and eventually decided to stop using them because they got so bad.
The star wishes he could make himself have more imaginings when he is asleep, explaining he loves it when he has an adventure while resting. “I would like to dream more because I like dreams. The kind of dreams I really like are the ones where you realise you’re dreaming and you’re able to say to yourself, ‘OK, I’m dreaming, so I can do whatever the hell I want right now. Hey, let’s try this!’ That’s a good dream,” he said.
