Jeff - Check these out.

In the first scene when David drives out of his garage...you look on the windshield of his car and the inspection or registration sticker says 02/30/01. The significance is that this is ok in a dream sequence. There's no Feb 30, right? Not only is that in the first scene on his Porsche, but it is also on his Mustang throughout the whole movie, which supports that the whole thing, from beginning to end is one big dream/nightmare.

In Julia's first scene in the movie and her cell phone rings. The cell phone rings to the tune of "Row Row Row Your Boat" which of course, contains the lyric, "life is but a dream".

At David's birthday party, he's asked how it's going. His response? "Livin' the dream, baby...livin' the dream".

Look for one shot in prison where you get a full view of the chalk board. You'll notice many little things like DREAM spelled out backwards.

Also, two well-known R.E.M. songs are featured. R.E.M. stands for rapid eye movement. As in a state of sleep. It's when you dream.

Film opens with the song Everything in it's Right Place by Radiohead. Chorus of the song is "Yesterday I woke up sucking on a lemon" - These words relate directly to Brian Shelby's sweet and sour speeches. Also, the 'Freewheelin' Bob Dylan' album cover can be seen in David's house, this later figures prominently in the film.
