* ''ComicBook/MisterMiracle2017'', depending on how you interpret it's deliberately vague and surreal plot, could be this for Scott Free following his wife Big Barda's forced leave of absence in ''ComicBook/DarkseidWar''. What makes sense is that it all pertains to the various things Scott seems to have suffered from or is guilty of, up to and including the deaths of significant figures in his life, Granny Goodness, Orion and culminating in losing his newborn son to his evil stepfather Darkseid, and ends with him killing the evil god. It's believed it could be a deliberately induced JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind to confront his repressed trauma and overcome it.

Similar to AllJustADream and the typical DreamSequence, this could possibly end in the character asking, OrWasItADream This is not to be confused with an episode the fanbase had been dreaming of for a while, a la SugarWiki/AndTheFandomRejoiced. Finally, see also FeverDreamEpisode, which is this trope meets SickEpisode, and AdventuresInComaLand.

Tommy's dream involves him exploring an ancient temple as "Okey-dokey Jones", Kimi dreams that she's an acrobat at the circus, and Phil and Lil share a dream, wherein Phil rides a frog while Lil rides a flying mud pie. Unfortunately, Chuckie doesn't have an exciting dream like the other babies.
