2A charismatic stranger in Finn’s dream leads Cosmic Owl to shirk his duties.
3----
4* AnimalSpeciesAccent: The Cosmic Owl says things like "''Hoo'' am I kidding?"
5* CallBack: The future fall of the Candy Kingdom was established in [[Recap/AdventureTimeS5E51LemonhopePart2 "Lemonhope"]] and [[Recap/AdventureTimeS6E35Graybles1000 "Graybles 1000+"]]. Princess Bubblegum having it happen in her dream with the Cosmic Owl present further cements this inevitable future.
6* ContinuityNod: Finn states the last time he had a prophetic dream, he got dumped, referencing the events of [[Recap/AdventureTimeS5E30FrostAndFire "Frost & Fire"]] when the Finn/Flame Princess [[ShipSinking ship was sunk]].
7* ADayInTheLimelight: For the Cosmic Owl.
8* TheDogWasTheMastermind: The bird lady turns out to be the dream version of Gunther.
9* DreamWalker: The Cosmic Owl can enter dreams, turning them into [[DreamingOfThingsToCome prophetic dreams]]. The bird lady can also walk through dreams and corrupt them.
10* EarlyBirdCameo: The bird lady's shadow when she taints Princess Bubblegum's dream is Orgalorg.
11* EvilFeelsGood: When the bird lady (or something inside her) attacks Princess Bubblegum she says "it just felt right".
12* {{Foreshadowing}}:
13** The bird lady's dream is nothing but icebergs, and Gunther lives with the Ice King.
14** The "party" where The Cosmic Owl talks to the bird lady is later revealed to be another Gunther's dream. It comes true near the end of the episode, turning it into a BrickJoke.
15** During Finn's dream, a Clock-Bear can be seen in it.
16* FurryReminder: The Cosmic Owl bought a box of "insta-oats and mice".
17* LoveAtFirstSight: The Cosmic Owl is absolutely smitten with the bird lady the moment he lays his eyes on her.
18* ManipulativeBitch: The bird lady tricks Cosmic Owl into taking her into Princess Bubblegum's dream. The Cosmic Owl is aware of this, but is so infatuated with her that he does it anyway.
19-->'''Cosmic Owl:''' [[LampshadeHanging It's okay to feel manipulated, right?]]
20* OhCrap: The bird lady corrupts Princess Bubblegum dream, turning it into a nightmare of the fall of the Candy Kingdom. Since the Cosmic Owl was there, that means the dream will come true. Cosmic Owl is understandably worried about this.
21* PowersViaPossession: It seems that the bird lady/Gunther's habit of pushing things around for their own amusement might be more than just a compulsion.
22* SuperLoser: The Cosmic Owl isn't quite as fantastic as he's been built up to be: he lives alone in a seedy motel (a ''cosmic'' one but still), has only one-player board games for entertainment, and has limits on what dreams he can enter due to his powers (though it's only a warning).
23* VerbalTic: The Cosmic Owl hoots whenever he says a word with an "oo" sound (who, do).
