In "Vanilla Sky" Crowe uses in the first sequence of the film is called false awaking. In the opening scene Tom Cruise freaks out about how he is all alone in Times square and starts to runaway from his car and down the streets having flash forwards of what will happen.

For another example in which editing is used there are parts in the film where David is in the prison and he is talking to the doc and he keeps having flashbacks of what happened before he was in here but doesn't want to tell the doc about them because he doesn't know what is real or not. David is reliving the past up to the point where is put into the container and unfrozen. In the end David chooses to restart his life without Sofia and says he will meet her in another life.
