15 What Dreams May Come Trivia Questions & Answers

Answer: chocolate

Chris says this to Annie in the beginning of the movie when they pass in the boats on the lake.

Answer: Cuba Gooding Jr.

Cuba Gooding Jr. plays Albert, who was a mentor from Chris' past. Albert was an older black male when Chris knew him but was young and full of energy in "heaven", where you can make your own reality. Albert says to him, "Thought is real, physical is the illusion. Ironic, huh?"
The first living creature he encounters is his dog. He says in a memorable line, "I screwed up... I'm in dog heaven."

Answer: His daughter

A beautiful Asian stewardess comes to greet Chris as Albert has gone to help another new soul adjust to heaven. She works with animals (showing that people still work in the afterlife) and shows Chris around "her heaven", which is brimming with life and happy souls. Chris was alone in "his heaven". They take a boat ride together and begin to talk and Chris comes to the realization that this is his young daughter. She had chosen this image because this is who she remembered her father speaking about one time and wanted to impress him. It is a very emotional scene and they reconcile and embrace.

Answer: A tree

Chris does see all of the above items, but the tree seemed misplaced in his new reality. This occurs before Annie commits suicide and she is painting a picture of a purple tree. The tree appears in his reality which seems to stun even Albert, who states that this is a rare phenomenon called "soul mates", where two souls can still communicate after death.
Annie is so grief-ridden however, that she sprays water all over the canvas. As the picture fades away, the purple leaves blow off of the tree, leaving it bare.

Answer: Joins her and loses his mind

Albert, played by Max Von Sydow leads him all the way to Annie but warns him not to stay with Annie for too long or he will begin to accept her reality as his own and will remain in hell forever. Chris does not heed this advice and sits with Annie, who is trembling and screaming at him to leave for she does not recognize him. He does begin to lose his mind and a look of fear appears on his face, as he seems to forget who she is and states, "It is so cold." This is when Annie comes to an immediate realization that they are soul mates and he will never leave her and to "never give up".
The scene in the institution, where Chris rips up the one-way ticket to stay with Annie is a foreshadowing of this event. It is truly a "Double D-Day", as their love triumphed over divorce and death, and the pair go into heaven.

Answer: Reincarnate

Interestingly enough, even though they have literally gone to "hell and back" to be together and reunite with their children as well, Chris and Annie chose to reincarnate on Earth. Chris states, "I found you in hell, don't you think I can find you in Jersey?" Since they are soul mates, they have no problem meeting up again as young toddlers.
God is never introduced in this movie. Chris does ask Cuba Gooding Jr. (believed to be Albert and later found to be his son) where God is in "all of this", referring to heaven. Albert responds by saying, "Oh, He's up there. Somewhere... shouting down that He loves us. Wondering why we can't hear Him. You think?" I took this to mean that God is a benevolent energy force that binds all living things together and does not intervene in the lives of humans, since they have free will. Once humans leave the Earth plane and realize that thoughts are reality and that they could become "creators" themselves, they realized that God and they were one and the same. Of course, this is open for you to interpret it, as you will.
