comment
Mythology Gag: One of the moments shown in Miles' flashbacks is his version of the "If This Be My Destiny" sequence from The Amazing Spider-Man #33. While seemingly more of a generalized nightmare than a reference, Miles' sleep demon does somewhat evoke The Thousand from Spider-Man's Tangled Web #1-3 after it shifts into a mass of spiders, some of which emerge from Miles' mouth.

comment
Extremely Short Timespan: Even assuming the dream that Miles had wasn't real-time, the entire short has its conflict resolve very quickly. It starts with Miles walking down the street to Jefferson's place, then ends just a few minutes later when Miles and Jefferson go for a walk so Miles can talk with his dad.

Heroic Fatigue: Miles is in a bad place mentally after being told that he's not showing any responsibility in his life, while he's actually showing quite a bit as Spider-Man but having to keep up his Secret Identity.

Battle in the Center of the Mind: The second half of the short takes place in one, with Miles having a vivid nightmare about being chased by a dark simulacrum of himself, which transforms into a spider, then a lot of tiny spiders.

Minimalist Cast: Outside of brief cameos that sum up Miles's Heroic Fatigue, the only cast members present in this film are him, Jefferson and the simulacrum of Miles.

Dramatic Irony
 The Spider Within: A Spider-Verse Story / int_ab5eea65
comment
Dramatic Irony: A few times in the short, Miles is haunted by voices of people (especially his parents) telling him that he's always running late and never seems to show any responsibility. As other panels during these moments show, and the audience is already aware, Miles is the Spider-Man of his universe, and showing an enormous amount of responsibility. It's just that Being Good Sucks when Miles has to keep up a Secret Identity, and the Heroic Fatigue is getting to Miles pretty badly.

No-Sell: Miles charges up his Venom Sting to punch the simulacrum of himself, but it does nothing at all. The simulacrum doesn't even flinch.

Jump Scare: After resting on his windowsill, Miles lies down in his bed, panting after another set of flashbacks and Heroic Fatigue. When he looks down, there's a dark simulacrum of himself suddenly standing in his room with Glowing Eyes of Doom, complete with a Scare Chord.

Ship Tease: A couple references to Gwen are made despite its short runtime. A Freeze-Frame Bonus when Miles crawls over the ceiling shows a work-in-progress sketch he's doing of her, and the ending is him telling his dad that he has a lot stuff on his mind like homework and girls, before correcting himself: "Well... one girl."
