9!!Power-Noia contains examples of:
10%%* AcidTripDimension: The shared dreamworld that connects to the girls' individual dreams.%%How is it an example?
11* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther!: This episode is literally an embodiment.
12** Buttercup, whose tough girl act is overcome by fear, results in her losing the courage to fly, and falls off a platform. Blossom intecepts her fall, and comes up with a plan to divert the spiders. Buttercup gives praise for her clever plan, which Blossom humbly accepts. As the spiders reappear, Blossom helps Buttercup overcome them, first by trying emotional comfort, then tries taunting Buttercup, getting the latter angry enough to forget her fear, and defeat the spiders, which Blossom commends her for.
13** While Bubbles is trapped by the clown toys, who then discuss evil plans to torment her, Blossom busts in and breaks her free. While their escape is halted, Blossom tries to motivate her to fight again. When Blossom is attacked, Bubbles instantly forgets her fear, and proceeds to tear all the dolls apart, rescuing Blossom, and flying her out of the dream. For Blossom, this confirms the girls' sisterly love is mutual and unconditional.
14** Best summed up in the end of the fight against HIM
15-->'''Blossom''': Guess you should've done your homework, weirdo.
16-->'''Bubbles''': We're sisters and we love each other!
17-->'''Blossom''': And we're not afraid of anything as long as we have each other.
18* BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind: The conflict between HIM and the girls takes place entirely inside the girls' dreams, and thus their heads.
19* ClippedWingAngel: HIM assumes a truly monstrous form before confronting the girls himself, but it doesn't do him any good as they beat him to pulp just as easily as they usually do.
20* CreepyMonotone: The children in Ms. Keane's class speak this way.
21* DarkerAndEdgier: It's an episode with HIM as the villain and it focuses on nightmares, you do the math.
22* DreamWalker: HIM when he enters the girls’ dreams. The girls themselves later on when they escape their own nightmares and team up in a SharedDream.
23* DreamWithinADream: Bubbles' nightmare begins with her seemingly waking up in bed next to her sisters, but it's all part of the dream.
24* EndOfAnAge: This was the last episode with the involvement of Creator/CraigMcCracken, who would later make ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends''.
25* FearInducedIdiocy: Blossom is trapped in a nightmare where demonic versions of Ms. Keane and the students are asking her math questions. She's so overcome by stress that she keeps blurting out random numbers.
26* LivingToys: These show up in Bubbles' nightmare.
27* MadnessMantra: During Blossom's nightmare, all the kids chant, "A test! A test! A test! A test!"
28* NightmareSequence: A good portion of the episode focuses on the girls' individual bad dreams.
29* SeriesContinuityError: This episode shows Buttercup being afraid of bugs, but this contradicts the season 1 episode [[Recap/ThePowerpuffGirlsS1E2InsectInsidePowerpuffBluff Insect Inside]] where it was ''Bubbles'' who is terrified by a cockroach while Buttercup only considers the bug gross but not terrifying.
30* SharedDream: The girls are given nightmares by HIM until they escape their individual dreams and team up in a shared dream to take HIM on.
31* SpidersAreScary: Buttercup certainly thinks so, and her nightmare reflects this.
32* ToThePain: The HIM dolls in Bubbles' nightmare take sadistic glee in describing how they're going to turn her into a toy herself.
33-->'''HIM Doll:''' First we will remove your stuffing. Then we will replace your eyes with tiny glass buttons that stare into space with a vapid expression. Then we will attach a tag to your backside that says, “Made in Taiwan.”
34* WhatDoTheyFearEpisode: Blossom’s nightmare is about her failing an important test at school, Buttercup's about getting trapped in a room full of bugs, and Bubbles’ about her toys coming to life and turning on her.
