Oh you mean the movie that had the exact same premise from an old Scrooge Mcduck comic,

But but but going in the dreamworld is new!  Sure its is, if you ignore, every other movie, book,comic, theatre play in existance it is. 

To me, it's not being original, it's being good. As some people have pointed out, the Star Trek Voyager episode "Threshold" was a unique episode. But it was so godawful, there was a reason it was unique. Although most of the rest of the show showed that being conventional but really bland is only a little better.

Threshold would have made a more believable series finale, especially given that they clearly figured out how to counteract the mutation problems, and then you've got instantaneous travel anywhere in the damn universe figured out, it would've been a good cap for the Trek series in that direction chronologically.

The poorness of Threshold came from where they placed it in the story, then the fact that they managed to fix the problems it had yet never mentioned it again (the writers realizing it was a gamebreaker at that point)

That and trying to explain it with a total misunderstanding of biology, to the laughable salamander people at the end.
