Don't go swimming in the lakes of your dreams.

Warning: Spoilers
Possible spoilers here, but since this film is VERY deleted anyone who has never seen it probably never will, so here goes...

I saw this film on British TV in the late 70s (I think) and to my knowledge it has never been seen or heard of again. I was starting to think I had dreamed the whole thing until I found it here!

My memory of it is quite faded as I was only about 10 at the time. I know it must have been very good because I sat through it all glued to the tv screen. Some of the scenes fascinated me- Peter going to places he had never been to before but knowing them anyway (I think he had seen them in dreams?) and seeing his surprise when those places of his dreams turned out to be real.

Some scenes were so moving- an old lady in one of those places seems to think Peter is her son come back to life, she is crying for joy.

The final scene is so scary- why does he go for a swim in the lake when he knows the same woman who killed him before will kill him again? Don't do it! you cry, but to no avail, then THWACK! an oar over the head and Peter Proud II is no more.

I think it's a great film, but it's so long ago how can I be sure? I'd like to see it again but the chances of that are pretty slim.
