"Dreams-February 28, 1979" is something of a misnomer, because this "Quantum Leap" episode (#61, November 13, 1991) is more about nightmares. Sam leaps into a detective who is investigating a pretty gruesome murder. He may well me next on the murderer's hit list and the only ones who can help him are the victim's catatonic son and her husband's psychiatrist. To make things even more interesting, Sam is experiencing horrible flashbacks. Written by Deborah Pratt (who also wrote "Shock Theater" for the series), "Dreams" has guest stars Jocelyn O'Brien, Alan Scarfe and Bill Marcus. Certainly an interesting choice for inclusion in the video collection, which is a nice way of saying there are other episodes I would have selected first (the Lee Harvey Oswald ones being my first choice).

This is a bit different from other Quantum Leap shows in the fact that it's length is shorter and the plot is a murder mystery. Its a good who-done-it movie with a turn of events that is surprising. I had never seen this episode on TV so it was totally new to me and I did enjoy it.

This video is very good and interesting, because it is defferent from other episodes of QL. It is cute to see Sam's vonerability and Al is there for Sam as usual. As also in many other QL episodes in this it is not only about the plot itself, but about the friendship between the two men.I recommend to buy the video and enjoy one of the best episodes of Quantum Leap.
