Using a daydream or glimpse In screenplay

I am not sure how to write a glimpse or daydream but I am open for suggestions from anyone.

E Langley

NICHOLAS' DAYDREAM (VISION, HALLUCINATION, etc)

Blah.

BACK

Glimpse.

QUICK FLASH (MEMORY FLASH) - DESCRIPTOR

Whatever it is.

Nicholas P

Thank you E Langley

E Langley

Da nada. Welcome.

Sam Sokolow

Agree with E Langley - that's a great structure that will take the reader there.

Nicholas P

Exactly what I want to do Sam Sokolow

If it’s a daydream within the context of the scene you can break the “real” scene with the heading “DAYDREAM”, write the dream and end with “END DAYDREAM” to return to the scene. There are a couple of ways this can be done but the main thing is to make what you intend clear to the reader.

Yeah I am getting to it soon Ewan Dunbar

ECHO Echo echo... :)

Nicholas P No worries. I refer to my characters' daydreams as fantasies.

Other than the "Da Nada" part, E Langley is spot on. (It's actually "De nada". LOL)
