Not upside down - this is a juvenile, and they have these markings. Females may retain them, but adult males will lose the darker markings.
Slow worms are legless lizards rather than snakes. They have eyelids, unlike snakes, for example.

The entire cast begins to chant “You can’t dream if you don’t fall asleep” over and over again.
It’s “You can’t wake up if you don’t fall asleep” surely?
And that has a very different meaning.
Personally, I saw the film - and a good deal of the rest of Anderson’s work as a study of the nature of authenticity: the contrast between authentic commitment to the path one has chosen in life (which most of the character demonstrate) and the existentialist authenticity that comes from the realisation that one could make completely different choices at each and every moment - which the compressed, expressionless delivery of most of the lines throws into sharp relief: it becomes so easy to see these characters as being trapped within their chosen roles.
Of course, I am saying “chosen” here, when it seems clear that to Anderson, there is little choice: his characters and worlds are dominated by an external locus of control: they accept their roles - but authentically? Or in an abdication of authenticity?
Thanks for the update and for the work in building the new instance!
I’ll be keeping my eyes open for further news.
