What if, as in "Jacob's Ladder" and "Siesta", the ending changes everything. In "Jacob's Ladder" we learn at the last moment that what we have been watching has been the thoughts of a dying man. We learn in "Siesta" at the last moment that Claire was murdered, and what we have been watching is her remembering the events of the last few days. In "Dream House" we learn that Will has just returned from a stay in the country where he wrote the book "Dream House". If this is true, what we have been viewing would appear to be the creative process that goes through the writers mind as he is writing his novel. The film, to be sure, has not been constructed as well as it could have been, but viewing it again with the ending in mind may help.
