In the middle of a wacky plot, Bob gets knocked out. When he awakens, he tells Alice that he dreamed the wacky plot that just happened. He will then be in for a nasty shock when he discovers that it wasn't a dream and typically respond in a comedically over-the-top fashion. Will generally be Played for Laughs, but serious examples aren't uncommon. Equally, the realization that it wasn’t a dream could be negative or positive. As a reveal trope, there will be unmarked spoilers! In a certain context, it sometimes overlaps with Bedmate Reveal, regardless of the nature of the situation. Not to be confused with Or Was It a Dream?, which is when it's left ambiguous whether it was a dream, or In the Dreaming Stage of Grief, which is when a character copes by pretending it was a dream. Compare Dream Reality Check and Bizarre Dream Rationalization. |

Played with in the end of Hey Arnold! The Jungle Movie: The movie opens with a Daydream Surprise of Arnold going after his parents, then waking up in the boarding house. After Arnold really does reunite with his parents, there's a transition to him waking up in the same situation and panicking. Then it turns out, it wasn't only real, it happened months earlier—Arnold was reacting to a different, unseen dream where he woke up and it didn't happen. | |

Dangerously Chloe in the second chapter had Teddy waking up with headache, discovering a half-disrobed succubus in his bed and quietly freaking out. The confusion as to whether he was shocked to find there a cute young lady or a cute young lady with horns and tail was cleared on the next page. In his case, headache and failure to remember how they got into the bed happened because absolutely adored Chloe may be a very strong flier... but not very cautious at landing. She apparently chose to also take his bewildered bleating as a compliment: | |

Gabriel Belmont of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow has a nightmare about inexplicably shanking his new female companion Claudia in the night, something which she is oddly okay with. He snaps awake, and is advised by the mysterious Pan to take the Dark Gauntlet from Claudia's guardian golem. Gabriel refuses to harm either of his companions, citing the dream he just had. Pan points to the nearby Claudia, sporting a silver dagger from her heart, and the looming guardian near her. Oops. | |

Madoka wakes up in the second episode of Puella Magi Madoka Magica thinking that her encounter with Mami, Homura, and the witch was just a weird dream. Then she spots Kyubey sitting among her stuffed animals. The dream in the very beginning of the series is also this, but the full explanation doesn't occur until much later. | |

In Hetalia Bloodbath 2010, after the Nations go insane trying to beat the clock to save an alternate dimension from exploding and ending up collapsed and exhausted after just making it in the nick of time, several of them wonder if the whole thing was just a dream. They actually wish it was a dream, but the fact that the alternate-dimension Nations left a farewell letter proves otherwise. | |

The Stanley Parable (specifically, the HD Remix) uses a variation on this trope during the Crazy/Mariella ending. Stanley deduces that the reason he seems to be walking in circles, the reason doors are closing behind him, and the reason he can hear a voice in his head narrating the entire sequence is because he's actually dreaming. After having a little fun with it, he closes his eyes and calmly urges himself to wake up. He opens his eyes... and finds that he's still in the same spot. | |

All of the human characters at the end of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, notably Nick Bottom (who has spent the night making love to the fairy queen Titania): "I have had a most rare vision, a dream to pass the wit of man to say what dream it was..." Unusually for this trope, none of the characters is ever disabused of the notion. In fact, at the end Puck breaks the Fourth Wall to encourage the audience to consider the events of the play just a dream. There's a brief part where Hippolyta and Theseus debate whether or not the four lovers were just dreaming or not. Theseus believes they were, on the grounds that their story was too fantastical to be real. Hippolyta agrees that it sounds unrealistic, but points out that it's equally odd that four people just happened to have exactly the same dream. |

Possibly an instance of this trope: In The Last Unicorn, almost at the end of the film, Prince Lir is resurrected by the unicorn and says groggily, "Father? Father, I had this dream... I was dead." In the movie this is changed to "No, I was dead", indicating that he didn't dream he was dead, he simply had some other dream but actually was dead. Or he started to go with the "So, it was all a dream!" idea, but realized quickly that it wasn't and corrected himself. |

Looney Tunes: At the climax of "Scrap Happy Daffy", Daffy turns into a "Super American" and starts whaling on a German submarine. He awakens to find himself trying to beat up a piece of pipe, and assumes the whole thing was a dream. Then he hears the Germans from atop a pile of scrap saying "Next time you dream, include us out!" In "The Aristo-Cat", Hubie and Bertie play a series of pranks on a millionaire's spoiled cat who doesn't know how to take care of himself after he drives his mistress's butler to quit. After getting chased around by an angry dog, the cat ends up in his bed, where he's convinced the whole thing was a dream. Then it turns out the dog and the mice are in bed with him too. At the end of "Water, Water Every Hare", Bugs ends up back in his water-logged hole and wakes up with a start, telling himself "Must've been a nightmare." Then Gossamer (who had earlier been shrunk by Bugs) goes by in a tiny rowboat and quips "Oh yeah? That's what you think!" |

He refuses to sleep because of this, and his friends decide that the only way to placate his fear is to reenact the dream in real life to show him that they're not going to disappear. However, the exact same thing happens in real life, only Piglet doesn't realize that it isn't a dream, so when he finds out that he can actually find all his friends again, he does so to change the dream, and has to be told by them at the end that it wasn't a dream this time. | |

Neon Genesis Evangelion: Genocide: In chapter 7, Rei has a very life-like nightmare about Gendo inserting the embryonic Adam into her body. Upon waking up, she is in doubt whether or not it was a dream. The fact that Gendo is described as having a heavily bandaged right hand later in the chapter confirms that it actually happened. In chapter 10, Shinji thinks he’s dreaming that Asuka has come into his room in the middle of the night. When she touches his shoulder and he notices that she looks awkward and smells of sweat, he realizes that it’s real. |

The 300th episode of Supernatural has the Winchesters using an artifact to accidentally bring their father forward in time from 2003 (two years before the series begins). At first, they're happy to have him back only to discover that without John's presence in the past, the lives of the brothers (and thus the world) are turning out for the worse. John thus has to return, sharing an emotional farewell. Back in 2003, John is woken up in his car by a phone call and telling the other person about the "great dream" he just had of seeing his grown sons and back-from-the-dead wife. | |

1408: Mike Enslin awakens in a hospital after the experience of near-drowning in the room segues into a surfing accident that occurred at the very beginning of the film. He writes off all of his supernatural experiences in the titular room as a dream brought about by being bopped on the head by a surfboard, but after a week or so "outside", this Hope Spot turns out to be part of the room's scheme, and it is revealed to him he had never left. | |

Late Night with the Devil ends with the main protagonist desperately trying to convince himself that the events of the film were all just a hypnosis-induced hallucination. Given that he is currently standing amongst the slaughtered corpses of his coworkers and guests, covered in gore and about to be arrested on live television, it is quite obviously for real. | |

Ayakashi Triangle: Upon ayakashi become visible to Yayo, she sees Suzu and Matsuri fighting one that attacked her in the middle of the night, and wonders if she's dreaming. Matsuri seems to consider pretending she was, but Suzu shoots him down, knowing it's a pointless endeavor when Yayo will still be able to see more (and possibly be attacked by them for it). | |

On the second morning in Fishing Vacation, the player's friend tells you about a strange nightmare or possibly a case of sleep paralysis they had the previous night, where they heard weird noises and saw something moving outside their window. The friend laughs it off and is amused at having spooked you, though given the increasingly strange and creepy events that occur, it's strongly suggested they weren't dreaming. | |

Navis attempts to resist the invaders amidst the burning jungle, but is knocked out. She wakes up to find the jungle intact. At first, she thinks this means her adventure was a dream and that Houyo is alive, but she discovers she is on an alien ship in what is essentially a zoo exhibit, a glass dome with a jungle environment. | |

The Ghost Next Door had this as its primary twist. Early in the book, before meeting the titular ghost, Hannah dreams that her house is burning. Late in the book, it's revealed that she failed to properly put out the campfire she'd had in the backyard, her house really did burn down and her carelessness accidentally killed her whole family, and that the neighbor she believed was a ghost was actually alive all along because she was the ghost. | |

In one of the Haruhi Suzumiya books, after genuinely falling asleep, Kyon ends up in an alternate reality with Haruhi, who wakes him up as she subconsciously starts remaking the universe. Eventually, he gets her to stop, probably, before winding up back in his own bed, which he falls out of and tries to pretend it was a dream. The next day at school he sees her with a ponytail, which he had during the sequence mentioned being partial to. Confirming that yeah, it really happened. Of course, he's still going to pretend it didn't. | |

In Persona 4: Arena, an exhausted Kanji accidentally sleepwalks into the TV World. Upon finding himself in a surreal, physics-defying mirror of his high school (created by a superpowered being who just wanted to be normal) where nobody is acting like their usual selves (because they're victims of a Master of Illusion) and robots exist (because they do in the Persona setting, Kanji's just never met one before), he assumes he's having a dream. What follows is easily the most comedic of the character routes, as Kanji takes nothing seriously, saves the day almost by accident, and treats the bloodsports terrifying everyone else as a macho fantasy that he's always wanted to experience. Depending on player choice, Kanji can realize the truth either halfway through his route or at the very end (when everyone pieces together the plot). Unfortunately, the latter happens too late for him to avoid being embarrassingly sincere with his crush. | |

His friends tell him he has been unconscious and insist on taking him to the hospital. Bart convinces himself that everything he experienced after being hit by the bottle was just a nightmare. However, the trip to hospital becomes increasingly surreal and nightmarish, and he realizes that this is actually the dream, just before he wakes up back in the country house. | |

A Sally Forth (Howard) strip has Hilary in class, and the teacher reminding them they were assigned homework during Christmas vacation which counts for 40% of their grade. Hil has no idea what she's talking about and freaks out. The last panel has her telling Faye that she kept screaming until she woke up, and Faye explaining that no, she kept screaming until she passed out. | |

Implied in Life, the Universe and Everything: After getting stranded on prehistoric Earth at the end of the last book, Arthur Dent lets out "the regular early morning yell of horror" on waking up and being reminded that it really happened, and he's stuck living in a cave "in the middle of Islington, and there wasn't a bus due by for two million years." | |

I Heard That Song Before: Upon realising the extent of his sleepwalking problem (which he didn't realise was happening again until after he and Kay start living together), Peter confesses to Kay that he's had troubling experiences in the past he assumed were dreams, but he now wonders if they really happened while he was in an altered state. Everyone wonders if this extends to killing people (due to Peter being linked to unsolved homicides and suspicious deaths). Peter didn't kill anyone, though it's revealed he sleep-walked onto the scene of Susan's murder and touched her body, thus explaining why her blood was on his shirt. He vaguely recalls this but believed it was just a nightmare. | |

An Archie Comics story has Betty take a nap in a pickup truck after a day of chores. When she wakes up, she finds herself at the mall, still in her ragged work clothes. She feels embarrassed at her friends seeing her in this condition, but then she decides that she's probably dreaming. She proceeds to make herself look even more unsightly, and become a nuisance until security kicks her out. Betty then finds herself walking home and notices the truck absent from her family's driveway upon her return. She decides to pinch herself to see if she's really dreaming, but finds out otherwise. | |

If you choose to take the Weird Route, Noelle can't shake the dread that something horrible really did happen. You can confront her in the hospital and tell her outright it wasn't actually a dream, but Susie interrupts before Noelle can reply and she runs away in fear. Alternatively, you can have Kris equip Noelle's watch in the Dark World, and she'll notice them still wearing it at the end in the Light World and realize the truth herself. | |

There's an interesting inversion in the Thunderbirds Clip Show episode "Security Hazard". A boy stows away aboard Thunderbird 2 and ends up on Tracy Island, and the Tracy brothers "accidentally" tell him about their missions. Eventually he gets tired out, so while he's asleep they take him back in Thunderbird 2 and smuggle him back into bed, so that when he wakes up he'll think it was All Just a Dream. | |

The Raven's Plan: After the War for the Dawn ends in a Near-Villain Victory for the Night King and the White Walkers, the few survivors resort to a desperate last-ditch effort to Set Right What Once Went Wrong by having Bran and Melisandre cast a spell that will send back the memories of certain important players into the past so they can prevent the War of the Five Kings and other subsequent conflicts that left Westeros unable to adequately mount a good resistance effort. However, things go off the rails when the magical spell is accidentally fueled with way more blood than necessary, making it too powerful in the process and sending back way more people than originally planned. Thus, when everyone wakes up and remembers the events of the previous timeline, they originally think everything was All Just a Dream or they're in the afterlife of they died at an earlier point... until the Awful Truth sinks in. | |

In the Rugrats episode "In the Dreamtime", Chuckie has several bizarre nightmares, causing him to believe that he's dreaming when he and the other babies are hanging out. It doesn't help that their conversation mirrors the one they had in one of his dreams. He decides to do something that he would normally be too scared to do in real life by going into the yard next door with the Angry Guard Dog. It's not until he trips on the dog's bone and hurts himself that he realizes he's not dreaming (his dad told him that dreams can't hurt you), and that he has to get out of the neighbor's yard and fast. | |

The Venture Bros.: In one episode, the Monarch's henchmen wake up after getting completely shitfaced the last night to celebrate Monarch's impending wedding. Then they see Brock Samson in a cage and 24 exclaims "Oh, shit, I thought I dreamed that part!" Another episode has Billy Quizboy get kidnapped, thrown in a bag, forced to do surgery on a pair of old supervillains, carried around in the bag for a while, and eventually knocked out. He wakes up in a bed and yells for his roommate to come listen about the crazy dream he just had, before realizing his roommate is not there, but a half-naked pedophile with a thing for Billy's childlike appearance sure is. (Fortunately, it turns out nothing happened besides cuddling. It was nonconsensual cuddling, though.) |

As she retreats to the "Fuhrerbunker", a friend, and fellow secretary asks what's wrong and Traudel responds, "Oh god. It's all so surreal, like a dream, but I can't wake up." | |

The BFG: A central part of Sophie's plan to catch the man-eating giants once and for all. Since the Queen of England would never believe a story about the giants, Sophie and the BFG decide to give her a dream detailing the events, and in order to demonstrate that it's not All Just a Dream, they also add a bit to the dream of a girl named Sophie sitting on the Queen's windowsill and talking to her about the incident, before placing Sophie on said windowsill so she can in fact be there when the Queen wakes. The Queen is further convinced when she reads the newspaper about children disappearing from school dormitories that very night. | |

In the Supergirl (2011) storyline Last Daughter of Krypton, the last thing Kara remembers before being put in stasis is her father driving her to his lab. So when she wakes up from her decades-long artificial slumber, stumbles out of a rocketship, crawls out of a crater and finds herself lost in an unfamiliar snowy landscape (and she is not freezing to death), she thinks she's still dreaming. When battle robots suddenly fly down from the sky and surround her, she merely thinks it's a very weird dream. Then the robots attempt to capture her, and the pain caused by her attacks makes Kara realize she isn't dreaming. | |

Done three times in South Park's "Imaginationland" arc — once with Kyle, and twice with Butters. The first one with Butters was an exceptionally ludicrous Second Episode Morning; he wakes up in bed at home and tells his parents what happened, only for his father to respond, "You are in Imaginationland. This is a dream." The Mayor of Imaginationland suddenly runs in, screaming, "Wake up, stupid!" Cue reality, in which imagination is running wild. | |

PreCure: Sora and Mashiro try to mutually calm themselves down in the first episode, after seeing earth technology she is not used to (Sora) and seeing a girl fall from the sky and clearly be caught by magic from a baby (Mashiro). This works... until Kabaton crashes near them too and goes on the attack, after which, and some self-pinching from Mashiro, make it clear it is not a dream. Wonderful Pretty Cure!: When Komugi ends up asleep due to the large amount of food she ate, she initially thinks that her being a student was a dream. Only for Iroha to certify that it wasn't. |

Her mother Rinko initially tries to reinforce this assumption by turning off the news and claiming that she washed her daughter's school uniform until it was like brand new (the uniform is brand new because Kuroe ripped out of the previous set). Unfortunately, Kuroe turns the TV on herself and finds out the truth. | |

A Crown of Stars: It happens several times throughout the story: In chapter 6 Asuka asks Shinji if this is a dream. Shinji replies that it is not. In chapter 24 Shinji wakes up, sees a smiling Asuka sleeping in his arms and deduces he must be dreaming. When she opens her eyes he greets her warmly, tells he is going to make her breakfast in bed and maybe he will wash her back when she is showering, kisses her and leaves with a wink. Shortly after he realizes it was NOT a dream. And he freaks out. In chapter 37 Shinji and Asuka are showering together and Shinji asks: “I’m not dreaming, am I?� In chapter 44 Asuka wakes up and wonders why she has dreamed of an all-night sex-marathon with Shinji… and then she realizes that was not a dream. |
