The character goes to bed and dreams. Often intensely symbolically. Or possibly a dream that he forgets within moments of waking. But either way, he wakes up having pieced together all the clues he had before but hadn't seen the significance of, or having made a decision that troubled him. The dream, if recounted, need not have any apparent relationship to the discovery. Can also occur in delirium and hallucinations. These are not prophetic or psychic dreams, or having it communicated to him; he had all the information in hand, he just hadn't put it together. Though some dreamers assume they are dreaming the truth for prophetic or communicating dreams. Seldom if ever Recurring Dreams, except where they overlap with Past Experience Nightmare, especially if the character is suffering Trauma-Induced Amnesia. If the dream is about resolving UST, expect it to be an Erotic Dream. Compare Opinion-Changing Dream and Helpful Hallucination. Contrast Real Dreams are Weirder. |

In the first book Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Harry has a dream about wearing Professor Quirrell's turban and hearing a voice coming from it. He wakes up and... promptly forgets it. If he hadn't ignored this dream then he could have figured out the truth way before he did. | |

House: In one episode, the not-so-good doctor had a dream which gave him the key to resolving his latest case. The dream also involved him wearing a catheter that ruptured, but that had more to do with his own issues at the time. In another case, they used Dreaming The Truth, but the audience can't be sure if he just hadn't put the facts together or if he was actively in denial. After all, who wants to remember that they got their best and only friend's girlfriend in a bus accident? |

Used on Psych in the "Mr. Yin Presents" episode. Shawn is able to remember a vital clue that he walked right past the killer in the movie theater the night before and saw he was wearing ankle weights. Subverted by the fact that the ankle weights clue was a Red Herring and the one Shawn thought was the killer is actually Yin's next victim. | |

Happened a few times on The Simpsons. Twin Peaks was even explicitly parodied at one point during one of these. One instance subverts it for laughs - Homer dreams that he created a wildly successful new product, but is repeatedly prevented from finding out what the amazing invention is. | |

In Um Jammer Lammy, guitar-dependent Lammy has a Dream Sequence about a famous TV martial arts master being the new lead singer of her band. They play a rather prophetic song together that slowly derails into Shave And A Haircut, and Lammy realises her guitar is actually a vacuum cleaner. The Sensei then tells her that he lost his dojo, which even had a casino, but it's okay, as it still exists in his mind. This gives Lammy the inspiration she needs to realise her guitar is just a Magic Feather, and she can be badass without it since it's in her mind. | |

While she is temporarily dead, she has a dream that sheds some light on what happened between Legend and her grandmother. She also finds out a bit more about the woman who died after participating in Caraval a few years ago.

This happened in an episode of Medium. A Texas Ranger was troubled by dreams that had only recently started to become clear... and then the things he was dreaming started happening (a pair of EMTs killed and dumped where he dreamed they would be, and so on). It later turned out that he truly wasn't having prophetic dreams; he'd spent some time comatose in a hospital, and while in that state had overheard someone making plans that later presented themselves as dreams as his mind made sense of the information. | |

He wakes up and... promptly forgets it. If he hadn't ignored this dream then he could have figured out the truth way before he did. When Harry pulls his Heroic Sacrifice towards the end of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows , he meets "Dumbledore" in limbo between life and death. It's never made clear if he's talking to Dumbledore's soul in the afterlife or if Dumbledore is just a manifestation of his subconscious to help himself sort out what's happening. Whatever "Dumbledore" is, he thinks it's the latter. |

King of the Hill: In "Vision Quest," Dale has a food and sleep-depraved hallucination where he sees Nancy making out with a Native American man before giving birth to Joseph, basically spelling out all the evidence he was ignoring that Nancy cheated on him with John Redcorn and that Joseph is the latter's biological son. Dale instead comes to the conclusion that he himself was Native American the entire time and just did not know. | |

The experience allows Morrison to come to terms with the fact that Cathy Martin was telling the truth when she accused White of raping her. Morrison had been the only person to believe him and to support through thick and thin during his rape trial. | |

The Finder's Walter Sherman has the occasional Dream Sequence which ends in him figuring out something he missed earlier in whatever case he's working. Usually it's about the nature of what he's looking for or an aspect of a person involved in the case that he misread. Once, instead of a standard dream sequence, he hijacked a hypnotic state and used it to figure out a mistake made in a 20-year-old murder case. | |

When he awakes, he decides to cast his vote that the ice will break on that date and time, only to later have another dream about him catching a salmon on May 2. This leaves Tooey very confused. Eventually, he chooses neither option. | |

On two separate occasions in Let Me Call You Sweetheart, Kerry has nightmares about the women she saw in Dr Smith's clinic whose features are hauntingly familiar; in her nightmare the woman is lying on the floor with a knotted cord around her neck. After the second nightmare, Kerry finally realizes where she's seen their faces before; they both look nearly identical to infamous murder victim Suzanne Reardon (who was strangled with her own belt). Kerry's boss was the lead prosecutor on the case when she first starting working for him. | |

In The Haunting of Drearcliff Grange School, the protagonist has a nightmare just before the climactic scene in which she's being hunted by twisted versions of her classmates. She doesn't consciously have any realizations as a result, but several of the details foreshadow revelations that occur during the climax that she'd probably had some subconscious awareness of. A big one is that the dream includes two different versions of a classmate who's been acting strangely for days, foreshadowing the revelation that she's been replaced by an imposter. | |

BattleTech: Sun-Tuz Liao has a dream. He discounts the mystical ideas of his insane sister that dreams are pathways to truth, merely considering them his mind's way of organizing information for long-term storage. In the dream, he sees people he knows in pictures as he last met them, then the "mental image" he has of them now. He comes to Joshua Marik, currently at the Davion capitol of New Avalon being treated for leukemia, but no "modern" picture of the boy. This makes sense to Sun-Tzu, as he hasn't seen Joshua since the summit on Outreach years earlier. It does, however, give him the idea when he wakes to accuse Victor Davion of having replaced Joshua with a Body Double. No one is more shocked than he is when it comes out Victor has actually done exactly that. | |

Played with in the first Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney with Miles Edgeworth's nightmares about DL-6... although he suffers Trauma-Induced Amnesia, he does dream that he threw something heavy, there was a shot, and then a horrible scream. For years, he fears that he accidentally shot and killed his own father, Gregory Edgeworth, and decides that this must be so, confessing in court. It's even implied that Gregory also though this was the case, and lied about who killed him in order to protect his son when his spirit was channelled. However, Phoenix proves that the shot actually hit Manfred von Karma, who was standing outside the elevator—the scream was his, not Gregory's. Then von Karma murdered Gregory after Miles had passed out. | |

In one episode of Spartacus: Blood and Sand, Spartacus, while suffering from a fever, has a series of dreams which make him realise that Batiatus's explanation for how his wife died doesn't hang together. It's intentionally vague whether this was divine intervention or Spartacus's subconscious mind putting it together. | |

The Incredibles originally was to include a Dream Sequence where Helen's worries about Bob took shape. This was one of the first things cut from the plot partly because it was too lazy. It's discussed on the DVD extras, though. | |

Warhammer 40,000: Graham McNeill's Horus Heresy novel Fulgrim: Fulgrim hears voices nagging at him every night. He convinces himself that it's his subconscious. He's wrong. Serena d'Angelus forgot that she was a murderer until her Past Experience Nightmares made her discover the bodies. (Leading to her suicide.) In Graham McNeill's Ultramarines novel The Killing Ground, the Lord of the Unfleshed remembers deliberately putting himself somewhere where fumes would make him dream deeply, and remember his past. In James Swallow's Blood Angels novel Deus Sanguinius, Arkio had dreams in which his glorious triumph was tainted by something evil. He prays for guidance as to what it means. |

Dreams come up a lot in Julian. Both Constantius and Julian have dreams, but it's not quite clear if they're merely putting pieces together in their heads, or if the Gods are telling them how screwed they are. | |

Doctor Who: "Human Nature"/"The Family of Blood" has the temporarily-human/amnesiac Doctor/John Smith dreaming about his Time Lord adventures and recording them in his Journal of Impossible Things. "Turn Left": An alternate timeline is created around Donna Noble where she never met the Doctor, resulting in an utter Crapsack World where he died permanently because of that. A universe-hopping Rose Tyler speculates that, ever since the incident with the Racnoss where that happened, Donna has been having dreams about her adventures with the Doctor in the real timeline. Donna's reaction proves her correct. In "Amy's Choice", the Eleventh Doctor's feelings are revealed when psychic pollen gets stuck in the TARDIS time rotor, heats up, and induces a dream state for Amy, Rory, and the Doctor. The pollen latches on to the Doctor's massive amounts of darkness and reveals the difficult truths about Eleven's character to Amy and Rory in two dreams. |

The Pushing Daisies episode "Bitches" had Emerson to discern a clue he hadn't noticed before which allowed him to deduce that the dog the case revolved around was still alive. This in the same episode in which he told off Ned for treating a dream as anything other than random images. | |

Battlestar Galactica: Whilst near death, Laura Roslin hallucinates and dredges up a forgotten memory of seeing Gaius Baltar kissing a Number 6 on Caprica before the attack. Though she met both later, she didn't connect the two in her head until that moment. | |

In one early Family Guy episode, Lois dreams the truth: that Stewie's an evil baby genius hellbent on world domination. Of course, when she wakes up, she immediately forgets the details and brushes it off as a bad dream. | |

This is the likeliest explanation (it's left ambiguous) for Russell's visions of the Four Heroes in You, as immediately after most of them he mentions waking up. | |

The Sopranos: In "Funhouse", Tony has a dream where he is forced to face the fact that he has figured out that Big Pussy has betrayed the gang and turned informant for the government. It is strongly indicated that he had already subconsciously made the deduction earlier over the dinner at Vesuvio's, where Pussy described the works of the calling cards scam to Furio in just a little too much detail, but he couldn't consciously accept it until his dream pointed it out to him. In "Employee of the Month", Dr. Melfi has a dream which leads her to realize that she can, if she wants to, have Tony punish her rapist — though she chooses not to. In "Cold Stone", Carmela has a dream where she's forced to confront the possibility that Adriana was killed. Previously, she'd been led to believe that the latter had abandoned the family. |

Lupin III: In the second episode of the anime; Fujiko left Lupin a few cryptic negatives with strange lines and symbols that belong to Pycal, a menacing magician. Lupin had already figured out his fire-shooting and levitation tricks but is completely clueless about how he becomes invulnerable. Later, however, Lupin accidentally falls out the window and the resulting blow knocks him into some sort of dream where the negatives are projected over each other, revealing a chemical formula for an extremely resistant liquid. | |

In "Wanted", the 8th book of Pretty Little Liars, this is how one of the titular Liars, Spencer, figures out the major twist of the first half of the series shortly before the Big Bad reveals/confirms it to her and the other girls. They already know by this point that their deceased best friend, Alison DiLaurentis, had a twin sister named Courtney, but not too long after meeting her, she tells them each separately that there was a Twin Switch before the murder; she's Alison, and the dead twin is Courtney. When they have a sleepover together and Ali hypnotizes the four of them "for old time's sake", Spencer's subsequent dream reveals that this is technically true, but the Twin Switch happened much earlier; the girl that the Liars knew as "Alison" was actually Courtney all along, and she—their former best friend—really is the one who died. The girl who's with them today, who looks slightly different than the girl they knew, is the real Ali, who killed Courtney and now wants to kill them too. | |

Inverted in The Second Chronicles of Amber. In Sign of Chaos, Merlin muses (paraphrased) "Someone who had been through all the truly bizarre crap I had over the past few days should have had a revelatory dream, waking up with new insights as to how to deal with their problems. Me? I woke up in the middle of the night and realized that my feet hurt." | |
