Hero Antagonist: Agent Green of the Bureau of Subconscious Activity is in a sense this, even managing to capture Flip and Nemo halfway through the film, imprisoning the former before giving the latter a talk about what they do.

Chekhov's Gag

comment
Chekhov's Gag: Pig spends the entire movie swallowing inedible things only to spit them back up shortly after. In the third act, Nemo exploits this to use him to retrieve a pearl, having him swallow one to cough back up into her hands.

In a case of Your Mind Makes It Real, Flip informs Nemo that while dying in your own dream just causes you to wake up, dying in someone else's dream means you can't wake up again.

Split-Personality Merge: Nemo wishes on a pearl to make Flip wake up, which combines him with his waking self, her Uncle Philip. Philip stops clinging to the mast of the Coast Guard ship and bravely dives into the ocean to rescue an unconscious Nemo. He's afterwards shown to be much bolder and outspoken than he initially was.

Gender Flip: The little boy Nemo is changed to a young girl identified as Nemo. Justified since she is the daughter of the original Nemo from the comic, now known as Peter.

Adaptational Attractiveness: In the original comics, Flip is overweight and green-skinned. In the movie, he's played by the more fit and attractive Jason Momoa, due to being the dream self of Nemo's uncle Phillip.

Dying Dream: In a case of Your Mind Makes It Real, Flip informs Nemo that while dying in your own dream just causes you to wake up, dying in someone else's dream means you can't wake up again. Near the end of the film, Nemo is knocked out by a sailboat mast, and her trip into Slumberland eventually becomes this as her unconscious body in the real world falls into the water and she begins to drown. However, this becomes Subverted when through CPR, she recovers.

Brick Joke: Flip and Nemo meet a Latina woman (named as Graciela by the film credits) in Slumberland who's seductively dancing around to Latin music in a beautiful, revealing dress. He flirts with her before reluctantly moving on, and comments that a lot of people there are very different from their waking selves. Later, when she's seen briefly again before her dream self is forced to wake up due to the Nightmare cloud, she is shown to be a nun who'd been dreaming while at her prayers, confirming his statement in her case.
