* Referenced in ''HarryPotter/HarryPotterAndThePrisonerOfAzkaban''. Their Divination teacher expects them to have significant dreams, so they lie about having these instead of the silly ones. Harry also has a number of rather bizarre and nonsensical dreams throughout the series as well as his more meaningful ones. It borders on a RunningGag at times.
** It mainly showed up in ''HarryPotter/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix''. Throughout the book, Harry would often have dreams that were related to recent events, such as Mrs. Weasley weeping over Kreacher's dead body (Kreacher had been introduced and we learn that what scares Mrs. Weasley the most is the death of her loved ones) or Harry hanging Dobby shaped Christmas baubles, yet they would always turn into Harry going down a mysterious hallway with a door at the end. You learn [[spoiler: that Voldemort is trying to make Harry curious about what is behind the door. It partially works. Harry DOES become curious about what is behind the door, but he doesn't understand what any of it means, which Voldemort didn't expect.]]

* In the ''StargateAtlantis'' episode "Doppelganger", the problem of the week is an alien entity making everyone have nightmares in which Sheppard is trying to kill them. The team meets for lunch, everyone compares their Sheppard-dreams... and then [=McKay=], who hasn't been affected yet, talks about his nightmare about Carter inviting him to dinner, serving him lemon chicken (given his strong citrus allergy) and telling him she's promoting Zelenka over him, after which he gets [[ContinuityNod eaten by a whale]].
* ''{{Seinfeld}}'': I had a dream that a hamburger was eating me.
* As mentioned under Film, ''TwinPeaks''' dream sequences juxtaposed the horrifying with the utterly mundane to create an uncanny atmosphere. The first such dream sequence involves a waiting room, [[LittlePeopleAreSurreal a little person]], coffee freezing instantly, out of nowhere comments about chewing gum coming back in style, and an apparently-demonic figure named Bob (or BOB), an old man wearing a lot of denim.

* ''FanFic/QueenOfAllOni'': Jade's DreamSequence in the third Interlude chapter is a BigLippedAlligatorMoment precisely ''because'' it's such a weird dream. It starts out with Jade attacking Shendu's palace to challenge him for the position of ArchEnemy, only to realize she's [[NotWearingPantsDream not wearing pants]]. She and Shendu (who's now a short-order cook) then get into an argument over whether that violates the palace (now a diner)'s "No Shirts, No Shoes, No Service" policy. They drag Daolon Wong (a waiter) and Valmont (a busboy) into the argument, but still can't reach a decision (Valmont merely states he hates them all; Shendu declares it not an answer and sets him on fire), so they call in the manager, who turns out to be Tarakudo... the ''real'' Tarakudo, who's making a futile effort to communicate with Jade in her sleep, and is just plain confused. Then, after Jade starts eating soup, a bell rings, and Jade runs off, saying she needs to bring Jackie's homework to Captain Black, with Shendu chasing after her for not paying, pounding Tarakudo into the ground. After that, the dream apparently ends, and everything vanishes into a white void... except Valmont, ''who's still on fire''. Needless to say, this whole thing is one of the funniest parts of the story.
