In media, eating food can give a character nightmares. Whether it's because the food was eaten in excess or there's something special about the food in all, the character will suffer from bad dreams — sometimes featuring the food somehow. It's also common for characters deep in denial to Discuss this trope in order to reject the idea that some obvious symbolism in their dream (for example, a Recurring Dream) actually means anything, or (as with Scrooge in the page quote) that something fantastical is actually happening in real life. A variant of the Mushroom Samba commonly found in sitcoms and cartoons. Humor using this trope is often combined with No More for Me, as the dreamer doesn't want it to happen again. Despite the superficially similar name, probably won't take you to an Acid-Trip Dimension — different kind of acid, for one thing. Not to be confused with Nutritional Nightmare. Compare Death by Gluttony, The Food Poisoning Incident, and Food Coma for other bad things that can happen to characters who eat too much. |

Under the Umbrella Tree: Inverted in the episode "Yuck!": going to bed hungry because he refuses to try zucchini causes Jacob to dream that he's about to enjoy a delicious breakfast, when suddenly all the food turns into zucchinis. Played straight in the episode "Sweet Dreams": a big dinner full of strange recipes causes Gloria, Iggy and Jacob to sleepwalk and have strange dreams. Jacob dreams that he grows buffalo horns, Gloria dreams that she turns into a butterfly, and Iggy dreams that he grows into a giant. |

In an early Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) issue, Sonic chows down on one too many chili dogs and dreams he's "Sonic the Chili Dog", his fellow Freedom Fighters are condiments, and Robotnik was a hamburger. When he comes to, he vows not to eat any more chili dogs... which he breaks five seconds later. | |

The Cosby Show Cliff has a hoagie-induced nightmare that has him and the other Huxtable men pregnant and ends with him giving birth to a 7-foot-long hoagie and a bottle of soda. In another episode, Claire warns him about this and reminds him of the previous dream when he prepares to eat another hoagie before going to bed and promptly has an even more bizarre dream courtesy of Jim Henson. |

One episode of Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. involved both Gomer and the sergeant suffering this after eating Welsh rabbit. While the nature of the nightmare is a fairly tame example - Gomer and the sergeant exchange personalities - what makes it particularly wild is the fact that they wind up sleepwalking and acting it out for real. | |

The Simpsons: Used as a Framing Device in the second "Treehouse of Horror" episode, "Treehouse Of Horror II", as Homer, Lisa, and Bart all eat too much candy on Halloween, ignoring Marge's warnings, with the three segments showing Lisa's nightmare, Bart's nightmare, and Homer's nightmare, respectively. Also in the episode where Homer eats Police Chief Wiggum's "Guatemalan insanity pepper" chili. A bit hazy on the borderline between "nightmare" and "hallucination", but Homer does wake up at the end of his trippy journey through his subconscious (featuring Johnny Cash as the voice of his spirit advisor). |

The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers had a story where the trio breaks into a prison to free a friend. There's lots of high-body-count mayhem, and when Fat Freddy gets swarmed and beaten by hundreds of police, we see he's dreaming and his two friends are angrily swatting him with a rolled-up newspaper for eating all two dozen hashish-laced cookies they'd baked for a party. Then, in a much much later story, the wake-up scene is repeated, implying everything that happened in that 12-year span was him dreaming! | |

Garfield has these periodically. In this strip, for example, he dreams about himself and Odie washing up on a "Far Side" Island after he eats jalapeno poppers before bed. One Sunday strip has an odd Inversion (the dream gives him heartburn) where he dreams he gets the world's largest cookie, then the largest box of sardines, largest loaf of garlic bread, and largest bowl of five-alarm chili; he wakes up, and needs the world's largest antacid pill. | |

One issue of the Mirage Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic, done by guest artist Matt Howarth, features all the Turtles and Splinter having odd dreams but only Donatello's count as an Acid Reflux Nightmare. After eating an entire bag of chocolate chip cheese cookies, he falls asleep and dreams he and his brothers and captured by the Feds and are subjected to nefarious tests and tortures. Meanwhile, a government file regarding them is stolen and sold to a Hollywood director, who exploits it for his own gain via cartoons and toys (A not so subtle Take That! to the original cartoonnote Which, among other things, invented their love for pizza, and their multi-colored masks.). Eventually, the Turtles become prisoners of their own fame and lay around watching TV all day getting lazy and fat. Don then wakes up screaming "Teenage Couch Potato Turtles!" | |

Invoked in Alan Ford: in the volume On the Track of Melissa, the titular criminal is still at large after two whole volumes of hunt, and no one can figure out their identity. Out of ideas, the Number One makes himself a sandwich filled with mustard, cabbage, lettuce, pickles, and tomatoes and then goes to sleep. He does have two vivid dreams (one of which is a parody of Little Red Riding Hood) and obtains some faint clues which eventually help him resolve the case. | |

An episode of The Big Bang Theory ended with Leonard waking up from a dream about Sheldon reproducing (by prokaryotic fission!) and deciding "That's it, no more Thai food." Which was also a Brick Joke referring to the events previously in the episode where Howard said he thought Sheldon would reproduce by eating so much Thai food (one of their frequent takeout choices) that he would split into two. |

Tails occasionally has problems with these in Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. It's weaponized in "Boogey-Mania"- after Robotnik gets ahold of a dreams-to-reality machine that brings his nightmarish boogeyman to the real world, Sonic gets Tails to eat loads of junk food before using the machine to create a junk food nightmare monster to combat it. | |

Garfield's Nightmare: The game's premise is that Garfield chowed down on way too much food before bed (it's actually normal for Garfield to overeat), and in his dream, he has an adventure across multiple dream worlds. Eventually, he escapes the nightmare world and learns a lesson. The food theme continues throughout the nightmare. | |

After Norb becomes a rampaging pseudo-Valkyrie after watching Viking Women from Venus, Daggett decides to fight fire with fire... except Dag accidentally becomes a flamboyant Latin American dancer after watching a commercial for a "weight loss through limbo dancing" program. | |

Arthur: In "Just Desserts", Arthur has a series of fairy tale-themed nightmares after he eats too much candy and cake and nods off while listening to Grandma Thora read fairy tales to D.W. In "The Scare Your Pants Off Club", Muffy's parents initially think that her nightmares are caused by the popular Scare Your Pants Off books and they try to get the books banned. It's later revealed that eating hassenpfeffer ice cream was the real cause of Muffy's nightmares. In another episode, Buster says that if he eats pepperoni before bed, he dreams that penguins are after him. |

The Golden Hamster Saga: At the beginning of Freddy to the Rescue, Freddy the hamster is awakened by someone screaming "Help! The Hamster Killer! It's outside my burrow!" in Interanimal. When Freddy tells the other animals about it, Sir William the cat tells him he ate too much before bed and advises him to only eat a morsel or two of lettuce for supper in the future. But a few minutes later, there's another scream, and this time Sir William hears it too. The scream turns out to have come from a field hamster that was killed by a bulldozer. | |

It was sort of subverted with Mandy's dream, a parody of the A Night on Bald Mountain sequence from Fantasia, as she was in place of Chernabog. It probably would have been a nightmare for anyone but Mandy. (When she wakes up, she even eats the last piece of the pizza.) | |

In Garfield and Friends, Jon tells this to Garfield, who has a dream where he keeps eating and growing bigger. Doesn't seem bad to Garfield, until at the end an alien abducts him and reveals that a "hunger ray" was used on him to fatten Garfield up for "alien Thanksgiving". He wakes up and refuses to eat a plate of lasagna. Then eats it anyway. Similarly, in the children's book "Garfield's Cat Nap", Garfield eats a slice of pizza as a midnight snack to indulge himself after being given only a salad for dinner. He then has a dream about an unpleasant future where all the TV sets play only exercise shows and the food comes in pill form. Kind of a subversion of the above example, in that when Garfield wakes up, he's thankful for all the normal food he can eat. |

In Lucy Maud Montgomery's The Story Girl, the aimless child heroes of the narrative decide to record their dreams for a summer, and begin to deliberately eat rich food before going to bed so that they dream as vividly and crazily as possible. As a by-product, none of them sleep well and they're all cranky and irritable when awake (except for the Big Eater of the group.) When the appointed loser of the group accidentally poisons herself (she lives), the children's doctor bans them from doing it. | |

Beetle Bailey: In one strip, Sarge is dreaming about eating a bowl of things that look like Beetle's face smiling at him. He wakes up and swears to never put baby peppercorns on his pizza again. In another Sunday strip, Sarge falls asleep after watching football all day, and dreams he's a star quarterback at the Soup Bowl, paid with food by his team, able to throw off the opposition by burping, rewarded with a chocolate football when his team leads at the half (one with almonds when they win the game) and in contention for the world record for hot dog eating. He wakes up, and says "I have that same dream every time I fall asleep with my hand in the popcorn..." |

Invoked by Steven in the Steven Universe: Future episode "In Dreams," when he eats chili before bed so he'll have vivid dreams, allowing him to use his powers to rewrite the plot of Camp Pining Hearts. It backfires - his dreams are way too bizarre for what he and Peridot were going for. | |

Ed, Edd n Eddy: After Jonny 2x4 wakes up in the Dream Within a Dream ending of the episode "Rock-A-Bye Ed", he decides "No more free-range soybeans before bed." "A Glass of Warm Ed" featured Ed sleepwalking hilarious distances through the neighborhood. While it is uncertain if eating before bed caused this, as he sleepwalks Ed eats virtually everything in his path, from regular foods to Edd's cactus to Jimmy (who is thrown up later). While it didn't really happen while he was asleep, in the Halloween special "Ed, Edd n Eddy's Boo Haw Haw", due to a combination of junk food and too many horror movies, Ed's already loose grip on reality becomes even more unhinged, resulting in him mistaking every kid in the neighborhood for monsters and viciously attacking them. It then became a real nightmare for Edd and Eddy, who, for some reason, were the target of children's payback. Also referenced in "Dueling Eds", which opens with a kung fu school scam, where Eddy uses a mirror trick to make it look like he's created copies of himself. Of course, Jonny was awake at the time, but still. |

In an episode of Hey Arnold!, Helga ends up sleepwalking after eating pork rinds before bed. Twice she finds herself waking up at Arnold's house, the third time she ends up in Arnold's shower, and the fourth time she almost confesses her love for him. For Helga, that's definitely a nightmare! | |

The gag alternate ending to Breaking Bad (where it's revealed that it's All Just a Dream in the mind of Hal from Malcolm in the Middle) has Hal waking up in a cold sweat talking about his nightmare. His wife Lois blames it on a deep-fried Twinkie he ate before going to bed. | |

In The Sopranos episode "Funhouse", Tony eats some bad shellfish and has an extremely long dream sequence where he finally admits to himself that his friend Big Pussy (in the form of a talking fish) has become a federal informant. When he wakes up, he acts on this information and murders Pussy. | |

The MLP Loops: Variant in 136.6, where it's not food that causes it - instead, Twilight gets a reminder of why it's a bad idea to watch The Godfather right before bed. In 143.5, Rainbow Dash thinks she's in one of these (it's really a prank by Spike) when she sees a werewolfified reflection of herself in the mirror, and promptly swears off eating Manexican food before bed. |

Played with in Everyman HYBRID. Part of Evan's dream experiment involves eating various foods before bed. Pizza and hot wings don't do much, as he just dreams about a picnic with his grandmother. Grilled chicken and Doritos causes him to not remember his dreams. A healthy meal causes him to dream of roller coasters. Chicken salad, water, and fruit cause him to dream of a town of children, all of whom disappear. He then dreams he's in the woods, where he hears children screaming. He also finds hanging bags full of blood. Of course, the dream comes true a few days later, suggesting Slender Man was at work... | |
