Question 1

Is In Your Dreams woke?

Accepted Answer

In Your Dreams has a woke score of 21/100, which means it is not especially woke compared with higher-scoring titles. The movie has light, background-level representation signaling through its deliberately mixed-race family (Asian dad voiced by Simu Liu, white mom by Cristin Milioti, mixed kids). Creators chose this early for subtle AAPI normalization and to reflect their own backgrounds, making it visible in character designs. The core narrative itself is a standard family adventure about siblings entering dreams to stop their parents' split, learning to accept imperfect real life over fantasy fixes, and bonding as a team. No identity plotlines, no queer themes, no explicit political dialogue, and no activist institutional critiques. Themes stay personal and universal. No major woke backlash or controversy.
