* ''VideoGame/OnePunchManAHeroNobodyKnows'': In the unlikely event that Saitama loses a fight[[note]]Saitama in this game is a LethalJokeCharacter that has you begin the fight with two characters instead of the usual three while a timer up in the corner of the screen shows how much longer until Saitama arrives. Saitama takes zero damage from anyone other than himself and KO's everyone other than himself in one hit, but if you lose your two characters before his timer runs out, you just lose the match[[/note]] the match will be revealed to have all been a dream Saitama was having, with the usual victory/defeat screen replaced with Saitama waking up and realizing that fact. If you know anything about the character, you know he would probably consider this a ''good'' dream since it would mean he finally found someone who can give him a challenging fight.

* Subverted beautifully in ''Series/NorthernExposure'', "Spring Break". Joel remarks during his erotic dream of performing Robert Palmer's "Simply Irresistable" surrounded by the trademarked Palmer powerclones that he always wakes up before the good bit. One of the women leans over and tells him not this time -- the screen cuts to black and we hear a zipper being opened. Cue Titles.

* Real-life example: According to [[UrbanLegends popular legend]], Creator/SamuelTaylorColeridge's poem ''Literature/KublaKhan'' was inspired by a dream he had. He was about halfway through writing the whole thing down when he was interrupted by a visitor -- and upon returning to his desk, could no longer remember the rest of his dream, forcing him to publish the (fairly sizeable) fragment he already had.
** The other popular legend is that Coleridge wrote "Kubla Khan" in the midst of an opium high, and was interrupted by a knock at the door; having lost his train of thought, there was no getting it back. Ever.
