"The Dream of a Lifetime" is a 2002 Donald Duck comic by Don Rosa. The story was first published in the Danish Anders And & Co. #2002-49; the first American publication was in Uncle Scrooge #329, in May 2004.[1]

It is famous for sharing many similarities with the blockbuster Christopher Nolan film Inception, which was released eight years later in 2010.[2]

In February 2023 The Walt Disney Company banned this story from all future reprints, because it utilizes the Carl Barks-created character Bombie the Zombie, who is now considered culturally insensitive.[3]
