Yep, that's it! Recognized it as soon as I saw the guy. I forgot about the newspaper, but it makes sense. Thanks so much!
I saw a scene of some show a long time ago (late 90's) that's always stuck in my mind. From browsing around Tv Tropes, it seems like it might have been ripping off a Twilight Zone episode. All I remember is that this man keeps trying to save his blind friend, or girlfriend from being hit by a car. Every time he fails, he wakes up and realizes it was all a dream, only to try again and again and keep waking up until he gets it right. At the end he and the girl might start dating? Anybody recognize this?
