** Dream larvae are epic-level abominations best described as living night terrors, the misbegotten creations of deities of dream.

** The loumara are a type of [[OurDemonsAreDifferent demon]] spawned from the Abyssal layer of the Dreaming Gulf, where the final thoughts of a pantheon of slain deities are being "digested" by the Abyss itself. Each loumara's abilities and desires are shaped by one of the gods they're spawned from, so guecubus are born from the last nightmares of a god of law and peace, and are thus supernatural serial murderers, while dybbuks are born from the twisted dreams of a goddess of love and art, driving them to possess comely mortals and lead them into ruinous depravity.
** As of 5th Edition, [[{{Oculothorax}} beholders]] reproduce in this manner. A beholder that dreams of another beholder [[RealityWarper warps reality]] and spawns another of its kind. In most cases the two beholders will immediately attack each other for looking "wrong," but in very rare cases, a beholder will dream of seeing itself in a mirror or encountering several copies of itself, resulting in a "hive" of identical beholders that are able to work together. In other instances, a beholder's dream will spawn related beholder-kin -- a beholder who survives an encounter with a vampire might spawn a blood-draining "death kiss," a feverish or sick beholder might have its sense of perspective warped and create a tiny "gazer," while a beholder preoccupied with a draconic rival can create an "eyedrake" blending beholder and dragon traits.

* ''MarvelUniverse'' has a superhero known as ComicBook/{{Sleepwalker}}. When bad things are happening, this hero's mundane alter ego doesn't run into a phone booth to change clothes-particularly as phone booths, when found, following the 1940's, usually have transparent sides. Instead, he simply takes a nap, freeing his mind to manifest his superhero self.
** Sleepwalker and his "alter ego" are not the same being nor was he created by him. Sleepwalker is a alien from a different dimension that is trapped in the human host's mind. He is able to exit the mind into Earth's reality when the human is asleep or unconscious but gets instantly pulled back against his will when the host wakes up.
* Rogue of the X-Men discovered that her long-lost mother had been living in the realm of dreams for years, complete with her own idealized dream version of her daughter Rogue, who had achieved self-awareness and wanted to be a real person. The only way Rogue could grant her this was to absorb her into herself, so Rogue now has her own memories in addition to those of that dream self.
* In one ''ComicBook/JudgeDredd'' album, the villain seemed to be [[spoiler:Judge Death]], but at the end turned out to not be him after all: "He" was actually the living dream of a female psionic who (probably subconsciously) used him as an assassin to get rid of her enemies.



* Two examples from (pre-ComicBook/{{Crisis|on Infinite Earths}}) Comicbook/{{Superman}} comics:
** In one, a group of aliens, stranded on Earth, and convinced they will never be able to leave, transform into normal humans complete with no memories of being aliens. But their subconscious denial is so strong, it causes them to a) refuse to believe aliens are real, not even Superman and b) to subconsciously create a creature with their mental powers to destroy anything that might contradict this belief (eg. spaceships or Superman.) They eventually learn the truth and Superman helps then return home.
** In a similar but more tragic story, an alien courier bearing an important message to prevent a space war crash-lands on Earth and is buried underground; it manifests a "ghost self" that tries to steal what it needs to fix the ship, which of course draws Superman's attention. He frees the alien from underground but [[spoiler: it's too late; turns out the alien had only just woke up from a sleep that lasted centuries, and the war had already happened]].
* In ''ComicBook/TheSandman1989'', the main character is the AnthropomorphicPersonification of dreaming who rules the Dreamlands populated primarily by dreams that have taken on lives of their own. The gods themselves are born from dreams, usually leave the Dreamlands to build their own realms, then return to the Dreamlands to die when they [[GodsNeedPrayerBadly run out of worshipers]].
