** In Sweetie Belle's nightmare, [[Characters/FriendshipIsMagicRarity Rarity]], Octavia and Vinyl Scratch appear briefly as judges in an ''Series/AmericanIdol''-like singing contest. Notably, this is the very first time that Octavia and Vinyl have appeared together on-screen. Also, Pinkie Pie in her chicken costume floats by Apple Bloom's window in the fourth dream.

%% ** Apple Bloom's cutie mark of her winking at her is a take that to ''WebVideo/FriendshipIsWitchcraft'''s "Cute from the Hip" episode.

Frankly, these seem to be playing a bit loose with the trope definition, but as long as they\'re on the page, they need to be properly indented.

* CursedWithAwesome: Apple Bloom's interpretation of her "pest pony" talent in her first dream. She has an amazing talent to control dangerous, destructive pests, but thanks to taunting from Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, she is worried she will be ostracized for it.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
Gift Of The Magi Plot is a whole-plot-reference trope. Apple Bloom isn\'t giving up something of personal value to get a gift for a loved one, and there is no loved one to reciprocate. Not An Example.


* GiftOfTheMagiPlot: Apple Bloom keeps giving away her cutie mark to the entity in the woods when it causes her problems... only for it to turn out she needs it. Justified, as the entire episode is a nightmare she has due to her fear of her cutie mark, and thus ''herself''.

misuse — Real Dreams Are Weirder is about weird ordinary dreams being contrasted with sensible magical or metaphorical dreams, not just about the fact that dreams are generally weird


* RealDreamsAreWeirder: Most of the dream sequences are pretty straightforward. But the Apple family speaking in each other's voices and the spinning club house at the end add a bit of the usual weirdness found in dreams.

These episodes share a common theme, but their actual plots aren\'t connected at all. In fact, no two of them are even in the same season, indicating that they\'re not specifically intended to be viewed in sequence.

May be weak, but I think it counts.

** Sweetie Belle's and Scootaloo's nightmares also reference "Twilight Time"; Sweetie Belle gets a cutie mark of the same broom she was levitating, and when Scootaloo gets a baking cutie mark, her scooter turns into the unicycle she was building, with old-time egg beaters instead of a wheel, which is then used to mix cake batter.

* FriendToAllChildren: Luna appears to be getting into this role nicely since her visit to Ponyville in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E4LunaEclipsed Luna Eclipsed]]", getting along very well with the CMC and even being amused by their antics in the dream-clubhouse.

** Each of the dreams actually gets progressively less and less realistic. The first one is just weird enough to make sense. The second? Besides the CMC's sudden OOC switch, the clubhouse mutates into the "old" clubhouse... and the third, well, yeah.

The fourth gives up all pretense as a new cutie mark appears every time Apple Bloom turns around, literally.

The trope is about characters being terrified by certain ambient sounds, which is not what\'s going on here.


* HellIsThatNoise: Once the dream abandons all pretense of logic, just before Luna's appearance, the bgm briefly changes to what is clearly the modified theme of Whimsyshire, the secret pony level of Diablo3
