* AuthorAppeal: Richard Linklater is very passionate about philosophy. He's also admitted that his lucid dreaming played a part in the writing. His last scene has him discussing Creator/PhilipKDick's ''Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said''. He went on to adapt Dick's ''Film/AScannerDarkly'', using the same rotoscoped animation.

-->'''Eamonn Healy:''' If you look at the time-scale that’s involved here: two billion years for life, six million years for the hominid, a hundred-thousand years for mankind as we know it, you’re beginning to see the telescoping nature of the evolutionary paradigm. And then, when you get to agriculture, when you get to the scientific revolution and the industrial revolution, you’re looking at ten thousand years, four hundred years, a hundred and fifty years. You’re seeing a further telescoping of this evolutionary time.

* SpiritualSequel: Linklater's 2006 ''Film/AScannerDarkly'' adaptation. Both were shot in the same rotoscoped style.
** Also, ''Waking Life'' itself to his first film, ''Slacker''. Both go from character to character, discussing whatever's on their mind. ''Waking Life'' has slightly more plot, though.

Dialling back unnecessary use of conditional tense.

Alex Jones Is pending cut so dewicking.


* StealthParody: Possibly used against Radio/AlexJones. While he is yelling one of his monologues over a car loudspeaker, the animation slowly increases his skin hue to brighter, darker shades of red. This could just be a simple exaggeration used in many pieces of animation, or a reference to the imprisoned psychopath who is shown in the same way earlier in the movie.
