A Curious Dream is a 1907 short drama film based on Mark Twain's short story of the same name, collected in Sketches New and Old. Twain himself provided the following testimonial: "Gentlemen: I authorize the Vitagraph Company of America to make a moving picture from my 'Curious Dream'. I have their picture of John Barter, examining his gravestone, and find it frightfully and deliciously humorous".[1]
