Dream movie

Help identify an obscure TV movie I glimpsed when I was young. Dream-related themes.

Vaguely recalling in the early 70's? seeing the ending of an American supernatural suspense movie about a man who had uncanny premonitions in his dreams of details of events which would later occur. He is soon on the run after being framed in a political conspiracy. The concept is similar to Lathe of Heaven, but it's not Lathe of Heaven (I've seen it). It is not The Power either.

Any idea what the title might be?

Sounds sort of like The Dead Zone, starring Christopher Walken, but that wasn't released until 1983.

Sounds like the Dead Zone to me, too, but it's 10 years too late.

However, there's also the non-supernatural 1974 film Parallax View. No dreams, but there's a scene where the protagonist is seated in a chair and a dream-like series of images are flashed on a screen. He does end up being framed in a political conspiracy.

Response by poster: Not The Dead Zone. Seen it, swell movie.

Not Parallax View. Seen it, swell movie.

Brian DePalma's The Fury, perhaps?
