History Main / MarshmallowDream

* KingdomOfLoathing references and inverts this in the description of the giant marshmallow: "If you have a dream that you're eating a pillow, you'll probably wake up and find that this is gone."

A staple dream type found in comics and animation. Does not always require marshmallows in the dream sequence, but does require a pillow in the dreamer's bed.
Upon awakening from a marshmallow dream, said dreamer will find the pillow to be missing or shredded. Dreamer's mouth is usually infested with feathers that were once stuffed in the pillow.
The lower the dreamer's intelligence, the more likely this is to happen. And the less need for there to be an actual marshmallow in the dream.

* {{Motto To Love Ru}} has a variation. When Mikan crawls into Rito's bed to catch one of the other girls in the act of crawling into his bed while he's sleeping, he grabs her in his sleep and his mumblings hint that he is acting like he's grabbed the 'marshmallow'. When she pinches his cheek to have him release her, his response is to claim that the 'marshmallow bit him'.
** Neither the pillow or Mikan is harmed when they wake (although Mikan is 'caught' by the one she was trying to catch).

Who dreamed he was eating his shoe
He woke with a fright
In the middle of the night
To find that his dream had come true.

* ''CalvinAndHobbes'' had this as a minor RunningGag. Hobbes would be having a dream about being in a vicious fight with a ferocious weasel...only to awaken and discover that he had really been ripping his pillow to shreds. Or, occasionally, Calvin.

--> Wow, you woke up in the wrong joke!
