yes, I saw the film first.I must have been about 10 when it came out. it blew my mind. I kept thinking about it for years, then I saw the book at a used book store and thought, woah! I should read that. then I did. then I gave it to you.
In the movie, it's more concretely stated that it's all the last 90 seconds of his life flashing before his eyes as he lays in the rubble of the last great war, staring at a flower.

oh, I meant the tv movie I think.I dunno if there was a "film". sorry.
but I meant the 80s tv movie.
that's what I saw.
edit: it's funny though, that collective subconsciousness, huh?
we think about the lathe of heaven, I mean I remember it, read the book, give it to you, you read it, and then we go to sleep and when we wake up they've made a remake of it for tv and it's on just now.
Almost as if the story wasn't that far of from the truth.
I'm creeping me out.
(and therefore creeping us all out that little bit)

I hope the new endingdoesn't mean I'm dead having my head crushed by a cement wall and forced to look at a flower while I just imagine that there's really a b3ta.
and a fnord.
and an england.
and all the other bits.
