Baron Munchausen's Dream (1911, French: Les Hallucinations du baron de Münchausen), also known as Les Aventures de baron de Munchausen and Monsieur le Baron a trop bien dîné, is a 1911 French short silent film directed by Georges Méliès.
Based on the book by Gottfried August Bürger, it was one of the last films from early 20th century French filmmaker Georges Méliès. While other filmmakers in the early 1910s were moving into new technical areas of filmmaking, Baron Munchausen's Dream exhibits the same styles and processes Méliès had been using in the 1890s.
