Normally, the boundaries of the imaginary remain inviolate: regardless of whether it takes the form of a dream, a virtual reality, a delusion, or something similar, you can't take things from the imaginary world into reality. Normally, when this does happen, it takes the form of a Fantasy Keepsake, an indication that the apparent fantasy world was Real After All.
So, it may come as something of a shock to rational characters when they find themselves awakening from what really is an unambiguous dream... only to find that something they found there is still in their pocket.
The reasons for this are many and varied: often, this is meant to indicate that the barrier between dreams and reality may not be as sturdy as previously thought; maybe some kind of Reality Warper power may be in play; it may even be that Reality Is Out to Lunch entirely.
And on rare occasions, this trope may be used to invert the standard Fantasy Keepsake trope, in that finding something from a dream in the real world may even be a sign that you're still dreaming.
Regardless of how it happened, something in a dream has unexpectedly been made flesh, and the onlookers have to live with the implications — especially if the item was alive.
A Dream Stealer or a Dream Walker may have a few such objects lying around.
Contrast Bedtime Brainwashing, where real people affect someone's dream. Not to be confused with Based on a Dream, in which something in the real world was inspired by a dream instead of being literally created by a dream.

Viewfinder: In the finale, it turns out that the Weather-Control Machine being developed in the virtual world never worked, the entire project has been a failure, and the simulation can't help you stop the ongoing apocalypse. Worse still, the only way for you to escape is to delete the simulation and all its wonders. However, as you leave VR for the final time, you happen to take a seedling from a simulated desert—and somehow end up bringing it with you into reality, suggesting that you've managed to find a means of undoing the environmental decay after all.

A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984): After several nights of being stalked in her dreams by Freddy Kruger, Nancy is taken to a sleep disorder clinic for observation. While there, Freddy attacks her once again, and though Nancy is awakened before he can inflict any permanent damage, she wakes up with streak of grey in her hair... and Freddy's hat clutched in her hand, real enough to be taken home from the clinic. In the finale, Nancy uses the same technique to bring Freddy himself into the real world, allowing her to subject him to a gauntlet of traps before willing him out of existence entirely.

The Sandman (2022): Towards the end of "Playing House," Lyta finds herself getting pregnant in a dream, courtesy of her husband's ghost. When she finally awakens from the happy dream, she finds that the pregnancy has somehow carried over into the real world and she's now sporting a very noticeable baby bump. It turns out that this is a direct result of being in close proximity to Rose Walker as her Dream Vortex powers continue to grow.

The Gone-Away World: The Stuff acquires definition by absorbing data from the minds of humans exposed to it, resulting in unconscious desires, fears, and even dreams being made manifest. In one case, a little girl dreams of being a horse while immersed in a cloud of the Stuff, only to wake up to find herself becoming a horse—which unfortunately kills her.

With This Ring: Paul encounters a pair of Dream creatures who have been raiding people's dreams for valuable objects, then using Sympathetic Magic on someone with a strong connection to the Dream realm to keep those objects intact in the waking world. Ted Kord is very interested in studying the whistle that Paul is able to retrieve, capable of putting people to sleep with no other side effects.

The Midnight Gospel: The universe simulators seem to operate on a combination of virtual reality and magic, creating entirely simulated worlds with no presence in reality—while at the same time allowing users to bring objects from the virtual world into the real world. Throughout the series, Clancy brings back souvenirs from his adventures, most commonly the shoes he collects Once per Episode, but also a number of things brought back by accident, including one of the clown parasites from "Officers And Wolves", an ice cream-puking pegasi from "Hunters Without A Home", and Trudy the Love Barbarian's healing rose from "Blinded By My End." In "Vulture With Honor", it turns out that more enterprising "simulation farmers" like Blithrreyus use the same function to track down valuable artifacts within the simulated worlds and sell them on the black market.

Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog: In "Boogey-Mania", Professor Von Schlemmer invents the Dream-a-Majig, a machine that takes creatures from the dreams of whoever wears it and brings them into the real world. He demonstrates it by summoning a Non-Ironic Clown from his dreams. When Dr. Robotnik finds out about the Dream-a-Majig, he kidnaps Von Schlemmer and uses the Dream-a-Majig on himself to summon the Boogey Man, a creature from his nightmares, so it can terrorize Mobius. Sonic and Tails save the day by using the machine on Tails to create a stronger creature from his food-based nightmares to combat the Boogey Man.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: The quest "Waking Nightmare" sees the people of Dawnstar plagued by unceasing nightmares when they try to sleep, so they ask the Dragonborn and a priest of Mara, Erandur, to investigate. They discover that Vaermina, the Daedric Prince of Dreams and Nightmares, is behind it. Working together, Erandur helps you to "Dreamwalk" through a ruin that can only be traversed by dream to get to the Skull of Corruption, a Magic Staff associated with Vaermina and source of the nightmares. Erandur seeks to destroy it, but Vaermina speaks to you and offers to let you take the staff if you kill Erandur. Take the latter option and you get to return from the "dreamwalking" with the staff in hand.

Farscape: In "John Quixote," Crichton spends a good chunk of the episode playing a dodgy VR game based on his adventures, during which he is provided with three golf ball-like hint vouchers. After managing to escape from the simulation, Crichton soon finds himself dealing with Scorpius attempting to take over Moya... up until he finds the last hint voucher in his pocket. It turns out that the game's exit functions were all lies, and Crichton never stopped playing.

Doraemon has a one-shot gadget called the "Dream Hoop", where dreamers can throw whatever stuff they see in their dreams and have it appear in the real world. When Doraemon started having sweet dreams about enjoying a massive dorayaki feast, he remembered to activate the gadget and teleports around twenty dorayakis from the dream-verse to reality, for him to continue eating after waking up.

Sam & Max Hit the Road: During the visit to Bumpusville, Sam must use a virtual reality machine in order to access the mansion's security systems, resulting in a fairy-tale adventure to slay a dragon. Once Sam's finished slaying the dragon (and abusing Max in reality), he retrieves a key from the heart of the dragon... and back in the real world, Sam finds the same key in his hand. It's used to free Bruno and Trixie from the Bumpusville floor show.

Doraemon: Nobita's Three Visionary Swordsmen zig-zags this around, where thanks to Torinho's intervention, objects from reality can enter the dream-verse, and vice-versa. Doraemon and the dream-verse Alternate Self of Nobita, Shizuka, Suneo, and Gian enjoy a massive feast in the dream world, and in reality, Nobita's mother Tamako realizes someone has emptied their larder. The third act notably has Fairy Shizu from the dream world literally breaking reality and entering the real world to tell Doraemon and Nobita that in their absence, the dream world is about to be destroyed by Lord Odorom's demons.

Chronicles of Darkness:
Changeling: The Lost: An advanced Dream Contract can pull out a functional copy of something a nearby person has recently dreamed of. Complex objects like cars aren't eligible, but impossible ones like a fog bank or a pegasus feather are; the Changeling can also pull out a wearable "costume" of a living creature. It normally only lasts a few seconds, but on an Exceptional Success, it remains physical indefinitely.
Mage: The Awakening: Many Wrong Context Magic artifacts and memories of lost treasures are found in the Astral Realms, and an advanced combination of Mind and Matter magics can temporarily copy one into the physical world. A more powerful spell can permanently transform one into a physical object, but the long-term consequences of tearing out part of humanity's collective unconscious are unknown.

Paprika (anime adaptation):
Early in the film, Paprika gives Detective Konakawa her business card, which he hangs onto in the real world... even though Paprika is a persona of Atsuko Chiba that exists only in the dreamworld.
During the search of Himuro's apartment, Atsuko is somewhat alarmed to find herself encountering the Creepy Doll that Himuro uses as his avatar, seemingly just as animated as it is in the dreamworld. Curious, she follows it through the apartment... only to lurch back into the real world and very nearly fall to her death over the apartment balcony: the doll wasn't really there, and Atsuko was dreaming while wide awake. Worse still, it turns out that the hacker who stole the DC Mini has the power to alter his targets' perceptions of reality...
In the finale, Atsuko and Dr Shina are walking away, convinced that they've achieved victory over the hacker... only for a kaiju-sized version of Himuro's doll to suddenly loom into view behind them. As it turns out, Reality Is Out to Lunch and a whole host of figures from dreams are being brought into the real world, including the nightmare parade, the two bartenders from the dream lounge, and even Paprika herself—much to Atsuko's irritation.

The My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fanfic Black Lotus begins with an experiment: during a lucid dream, Twilight uses magic to transport a black lotus flower from her dream to her real bedroom. The fact this experiment succeeds is strong evidence that the "real world" is itself another dream or a simulation, so Twilight spends the rest of the fic pondering the philosophical ramifications of this.

In The Fairy Sapphire, Belle journeys through the land of her dreams, the afterlife, and the land of the future in what she thinks as a simple vivid dream after waking up in her bed. Then, however, she sees that the beautiful flowers picked in the land of her dreams are lying at her bedside. She keeps the bouquet for the rest of her life (they stay fresh for a far longer time than normal flowers, and even after they fade, they are preserved much better).

Doraemon: Nobita's Three Visionary Swordsmen zig-zags this around, where thanks to Torinho's intervention, objects from reality can enter the dream-verse, and vice-versa. Doraemon and the dream-verse Alternate Self of Nobita, Shizuka, Suneo, and Gian enjoy a massive feast in the dream world, and in reality, Nobita's mother Tamako realizes someone has emptied their larder. The third act notably has Fairy Shizu from the dream world literally breaking reality and entering the real world to tell Doraemon and Nobita that in their absence, the dream world is about to be destroyed by Lord Odorom's demons.

Mage: The Awakening: Many Wrong Context Magic artifacts and memories of lost treasures are found in the Astral Realms, and an advanced combination of Mind and Matter magics can temporarily copy one into the physical world. A more powerful spell can permanently transform one into a physical object, but the long-term consequences of tearing out part of humanity's collective unconscious are unknown.

In Housepets!, one of the primary Running Gags when it comes to Pete, Kitsune and the rest of the quasi-divine entities in the setting's cosmology is that they can invade the dreams of the pets in the series and force them to wake up under normal circumstances—but always leave behind some object that makes them question if it was actually a dream, ranging from a gryphon feather to a solid gold statue of their likeness.
