* AntiClimaxBoss: [[spoiler:Gilgamesh is rather anticlimactically offed by simultaneous strikes from Alex and Dan (one of them alone cannot harm him because he can switch between Dreamland and real life forms, so they both attacked at once). Some readers believed it is too quick for Dan to come to that conclusion and for such a major villain to go out so quickly despite having an entire army.]]
* ArchivePanic: The webcomic updated with over 2000 pages over the course of its 14 years' run.
* BaseBreakingCharacter: Nastajia. Read the comments every time she has a weak moment. The fanbase will be torn between "Poor Staj :(" and "suck it up, bitch". May have to do with RealWomenDontWearDresses.
* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad The Dreamer]] is the master of the nightmare HiveMind known as Abbadon, and the real power behind the Nightmare Realm. The Dreamer is, in actuality, [[spoiler:[[Literature/TheEpicOfGilgamesh Gilgamesh]], whose [[ImmortalityImmorality pursuit of immortality]] led him to steal the dream-bodies of thousands of children to stave off his own death for millennia, trapping them in eternal nightmares to [[EmotionEater feast off the fear and agony]]. Gilgamesh, through Abbadon, manipulates King Nicodemus and all the misery in the plot, finally debuting in the final few chapters in his attempt to gain passage to Earth and destroy all life upon it. When Nicodemus is mortally wounded and begs him for help, Gilgamesh leaves him to die, and in a last-ditch move to gain the advantage in the final battle, Gilgamesh devours the souls of all the children he's kept trapped for a power boost.]]
* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: [[spoiler:Nicole]] and Felicity, [[https://web.archive.org/web/20180415055214/http://www.thedreamlandchronicles.com/comic/page-1477/ reunited at last]].
-->'''[[spoiler:Nicole]]''': Hi, kitty cat.\\
'''Felicity''': Hey, ponytail!
* TearJerker: In chapter 15, when Nicodemus' backstory is revealed. It's shown that [[spoiler:he never intended to usurp the throne, and is visibly sad upon trapping King Arthur in limbo. Upon being told Abaddon supports him becoming the new king, and being given an entire army, he looks towards Arthur and states: "This was '''''not''''' my desire."]]
