'''''Swapnadanam''''' ({{lang-ml|സ്വപ്നാടനം}}, {{lang-en|Journey Through a Dream}}) is a 1976 [[black-and-white]] [[Malayalam]]-language film that marks the directorial debut of [[K. G. George]]. A marital psychodrama, it rejected all the usual song-dance numbers of popular cinema, yet succeeded in reaching the common mass. The film was a commercial success while maintaining its artistic quality. It won the [[Kerala State Film Award for Best Film]] and [[National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Malayalam]]. The cast includes [[Rani Chandra]], Dr. Mohandas, [[M. G. Soman|Soman]], [[Mallika Sukumaran|Mallika]] and [[P. K. Venukuttan Nair]].<br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
The story proceeds in flashbacks as the protagonist, Dr. Gopi, who has had a nervous breakdown, relives his past under psychiatric probing. It is the story of an ill-matched marriage — the husband, sensitive, introvertive and plagued by memories of a bygone love and the wife, rich, spoilt and self-centred — and how under the mounting stresses of daily life, the husband cracks up. Gopi is the only son of a widowed mother, and in strained circumstances, is put through medical college by his rich uncle on the understanding that Gopi marries his daughter Sumithra. Gopi, while in college, falls in love with a fellow-student, but they part company when his mother meets the girl and persuades her to give up the betrothed Gopi. Gopi's marriage with his rich cousin takes place, but it is doomed from its very start. They are not made for each other in either taste or temperament, and besides Gopi is haunted by memories of his former love. And Gopi, being the introvert he is, consummates the marriage, as it were, in a psychiatric ward.<br />
