"Dreamland awakens the best in the X-Files. A post somnambulistic tour for the terminally melded which pits a confused Scully against a Mulder who is not himself, this episode should be enough to make people switch the identity of their television channel from whatever their watching, to the X-Files. The ability of having Mulder in another person's body really frees things up and takes the audience into fascinating off limits areas, physically, as well as with character mentality, it wouldn't normally have access to. I always did hate being confined to one physical body, too restrictive. A womanizing Mulder possessed by the personality of a completely obnoxious Lenny from Lavern and Shirley adds an intriguing aura of sexual comedy to the events. It is invigorating to see Gillian Anderson portray the aggravation at the loss of Scully's locked in X-Files routine. Mulder's switched identity allows Anderson to set off some acting experiments with her character's primary relationship. Watching Anderson and Duchovny revel in the thought provoking exciting script is more fun than morphing Chris Carter with a chicken. Cluck. Cluck. One of the series best...Part 2 looks just as twisted."

"Oh, this was a classic. And as comedic as this was, it had a sadder, darker side as well. There were so many classic moments in this episodes, beginning with Scully's rant on how everyone else in the world is having a normal life and sometimes she just wants to "get out of the damn car." Now who didn't love seeing Mulder in that nasty body, mixing up the kids' names, muttering Scully in his sleep, and dancing in front of a mirror. Or Morris making Scully pump gas, playing video golf, slapping Scully on the butt and sleeping with Kersch's secretary? Classic stuff here, boys and girls, and next week only promises to be better."

"This is a really good, really believable episode. I like how Kersch made Scully "follow his directions to the letter" or not return from Nevada. I've always figured him like that. I love the look she gave him when he said "look missy, we need to get your panties on straight," I just about died laughing. I could see Scully pulling out some karate chops on his butt. I HATE two parters. I was crossing my fingers begging the TV "don't say To Be Continued, don't say To Be Continued," but it did... I was angry. I loved it though. It was a great episode."

"X-Files seems to be heading in a different direction as mediated by the
sense of humor. Did you catch the Nazi pun? The dancing-in-front-of-the-mirror scene was classic, makes you wonder what Mulder does when he is alone, and would he turn on the "boob" (ha ha) tube in a house knowing those two kids were there? This episode kept a smile on my face throughout the entire hour. Do you think that Mulder would not have used his apparent access to gain further knowledge of the activities at the epicenter for UFO ongoings?"

"Oh gosh! This driving me nuts!! (In a good way though) X-Files has just been so good for the past I don't know how long,but these episodes are killing me! 'Dreamland' was incredibly helirious! Another one of my very favs! I was crying again...from laughing! It also kept the 'X-File' in it too, if you know what I mean. Really good, odd stuff the X-Files are made of. People and animals stuck in rocks, while people are exchanging bodys? Definatly weird! But weird is good! I love the X-Files! (Uh,I've said this alot in my day.)"
-Crystal G.-
"Ehhh... It's a decent effort. Definitely a continuation of this interesting season 6. There is just something about Mulder mugging in front of a mirror that just seems...off. I don't know. I have higher hopes for 'Dreamland II.' Best moment: The entire teaser. Scully telling like it is, and Mulder being...Mulder. Gotta love it."

"Dreamland was very funny, and entertaining to watch, but I wish they'd get back to what seems real episodes. It feels too different. At times it doesn't seem like the same show."
-Anne M.-
"The only thing I can say about this episode is that it was great!!"
-Dana N.-
"A great, funny, interesting, well done episode."
-Sean A.-
"Disappointing, not a good choice for a repeat."
