* In the Website/GoAnimate video ''Dora's 2nd Nightmare'', WesternAnimation/{{Caillou}} enters [[WesternAnimation/DoraTheExplorer Dora]]'s dream to find out why she's scared. He finds that she is in a nightmare where she is uncontrollably floating around a black void where [[VanityPlate logos]] play from out of nowhere. Eventually, Caillou gets scared and leaves the dream when an edited Feature Presentation bumper shows up. Later, in the video ''Dora's 3rd Nighmare'', we see that some guys, including the AuthorAvatar, are giving Dora the same kind of nightmare on purpose. They use some kind of dream computer system, which ends up getting hijacked by a demonic [[Series/SesameStreet Big Bird]].

In a later tale, he has to rescue a daughter from the Dungeon Dimensions. [[note]]He discovers his Witch daughter is perfectly capable of extracting herself.[[/note]] Later, his Witch-daughter meets [[SpiritGuides a deceased Ancestor]] in a dream, who takes advantage of being outside time to show her some History. Bekki uses this knowledge to annoy her History teacher.

It is ultimately revealed that Daniel was truly appearing in Teal'c's dream at this point, bending the Ascended's rules against interference to offer his friend emotional support until the rest of the team could rescue him.

** Matsuri is a more complicated variant. When he exorcises an ayakashi from someone, he sends a fragment of his spiritual power into them, and if they're dreaming it appears in their dreams as Matsuri's ResidualSelfImage. However, while this fragment acts as Matsuri would (though it seems incapable of speech), the actual Matsuri has no awareness of what is sees and originally didn't even know it ''existed''.

Suzu can effectively enter dreams as well via [[SelfDuplication creating an omokage]] RemoteBody, but this also seems to connect things to ''her'' dreams, and thus her subconscious.
