Erotic Dream

""Oooh Dream Weaver, I believe you can get me through the night.""

- Gary Wright

The protagonist's sexual dreams about a friend or enemy causes them to reassess their relationship. Or not, just as long as they're having them.

Anime and Manga

 * Neon Genesis Evangelion: Shinji has a particularly Mind Screw-ish dream (for the audience and himself), including erotic visions of Misato, Asuka, and Rei. Even when Shinji is dreaming of Asuka throwing herself at him, she still refers to him as "Baka-Shinji" (stupid Shinji). Baka-Shinji.
 * Naturally, Ayato in RahXephon has a similar erotic (although it's a bit more complicated than that) dream about
 * In one Code Geass side story, Kallen is woken from such a dream about Zero; she was talking in her sleep, but luckily for her, her friend thinks she was talking about being on medication.
 * Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann High School AU Guren Gakuenhen has Simon dreaming about Nia this way. Specifically, a naked Nia saying "Okay, Simon... let's gattai!" while in his house.
 * He wakes up and the last part turns out to be true.
 * Shiki is deliberately given an Erotic Dream by Arcueid in Tsukihime, as thanks for his assistance. Unfortunately, who he dreams about is the source of much grief for Shiki, since it winds up being about Arcueid. In the anime, the dream itself soon turns into a nightmare when Arcueid makes it clear she wants Shiki's blood (the manga and game went with the sex). In the visual novel, though, you can actually choose who you want the dream to be about.
 * Worth mentioning is that Shiki is awakened every morning by Hisui, one of the maids. It's apparently pretty clear what Shiki's dreaming about as he sleeps. (Unless he dreams about her)
 * Shirou in Fate/stay night gets one about Rin as well. Interestingly enough it's not in Rin's route.
 * It's inverted in Kagetsu Tohya, the Tsukihime side story. Len actually has an erotic dream about Shiki where he can do nothing but watch.
 * In Ranma ½, the titular character's subconscious must either hate him for getting his curse, or has way too much fun with it, as his erotic dreams are inevitably Catapult Nightmares due to technically being Homo Erotic Dreams:
 * Almost at the beginning of the manga, Ranma had a dream about a mountain-sized Kuno grasping him (in female form, naked) while volcanoes erupted and jet fighters bombed a city. The anime version merely had him (again, naked in female form) in a pool, with Kuno offering his suddenly very phallic wooden sword ("Grab onto this!"); upon refusing, "she" sank to a reef at the bottom of the pool, only to be surrounded by countless naked Kunos (and this was after he had Kuno repeating his declaration of love to male-Ranma, including at one point where they were both naked in the bath). Both times, he woke up screaming his head off.
 * After being knocked unconscious while trapped in a deserted island with Kuno (again,) female-Ranma dreamed about living there happily as the kendoist's wife, already with several children. Again, she woke up in absolute terror and slapped him silly at first sight.
 * Once, a dying man named Harumaki sent out his astral projection to haunt Ranma's dreams. The reason: seeing female-Ranma reminded him of his love, Gyoko. The result: Ranma would dream about being on a date with a (seemingly) handsome boy, only for him to turn into the wrinkly, bug-eyed old man as they leaned in for a kiss. The art implied that Ranma woke up screaming because the kiss had been consummated.
 * Akane herself experienced a unique dream once, when cursed to sleep endlessly by a magical incense burner. Not only did she (as the heroine of the dream) expressed definite love for Ranma, but she also saw the competition as cruel dominatrixes (an especially disturbing case with Kodachi,) and, when a Knight in Shining Armor Ranma came to rescue her, she didn't complain much when he brought her down for an amorous tryst.
 * Disturbingly subverted in Saikano: Shuji has a nightmare in which Chise appears in full-on Ultimate Weapon mode and threatens to kill him; confused, he turns and sees Fuyumi naked in bed beside him.
 * Tsukune has a few in Rosario + Vampire, but he calls himself "The lowest of the low" for doing so when he wakes up.
 * Played with in the Lucky Star OVA, when Kagami dreams about Konata casting a spell on her house. To undo the spell, Dream-Konata tells her that she must call out a certain phrase, which she does as she wakes up, only to find her sister staring at her with the wrong(?) idea about what just happened.
 * Specifically, Kagami wakes up saying "I want to *BLEEP* with Konata."
 * Hayate the Combat Butler anime had a SFW version with Hinagiku dreaming of what Hayate would give her for her birthday. She wakes up just before he kisses her, and it's implied that this isn't the first dream of it's type she's had.
 * This is before she's even realized that she is in love with him.
 * Nagi was having a nice dream with Hayate in it.... and then he suddenly started to seduce her (despite her unconvincing protesting). She's awoken just before it gets NSFW.. by Hayate who then proceeds to give her a Headbutt Thermometer. Ship Tease at its absoute finest.
 * Sora no Otoshimono: A Journey to the Center of the Mind reveals that Mitsuki Sohara experiences dreams of willingly doing very naughty things with Tomoki, to which she firmly and violently denies. Apparently, she's very chaste, or so she'd like the others to believe.
 * Great Teacher Onizuka manga: Anko dreamed about Noburo during the Okinawa trip. This was replaced in the anime with him walking in on her from the bath because apparently this was more acceptable on TV.
 * Rito from To LOVE-Ru on occasion, including at threeway at one point in the anime.
 * While never stated, in the 37th episode of the 2003 anime version of Fullmetal Alchemist, Riza has a pretty...suggestive sounding dream.
 * In Afterschool Charisma, Shiro has one of Marie Curie's clone in the fourth chapter. Ikkyu rudely wakes him up.
 * In A Certain Magical Index, Mikoto has one of Touma. The audience just sees her writhing and moaning in her bed, calling out for him.
 * Later, Touma has one of Kaori wearing Index's swimsuit.

Comic Books

 * An elaborate example opens the XXXenophile story "Net Dreams".
 * Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Buffy has a sex dream involving both Angel and Spike, with herself in a Naughty Nurse Outfit, and all three chained to a bed.
 * In Watchmen, Dan has one about a villainess he once defeated, who then turns into Laurie, but the dream becomes rather disturbing after that.
 * More specifically, first he sees himself with the villainess, then with naked Laurie... then they tear their skins off, revealing their costumes underneath. In the movie, they cut out the first bit, because they'd cut out the character.
 * Andddd then a bomb goes off.
 * Little Ego is an adult-oriented, erotic parody of the classic Little Nemo comics written and drawn by Vittorio Giardino. The main character, called Ego, is a woman seemingly in her middle twenties. As in Little Nemo, each story is about her having a dream, and she wakes up in the last panel. Whereas Little Nemo talked to his mother after waking up, Little Ego thinks what she will tell her psychoanalyst. Every story in the Little Ego comic book involves erotic imagery, with Ego appearing half-naked or fully naked in at least one point. She has sexual intercourse with men, with other women, and even with plants and animals.
 * It's suggestive rather than outright porn most of the time—but VERY suggestive—and all in all, a lot better than this description sounds.
 * In Zatanna #16 (the final issue of the 2011 series), a seriously sleep deprived Zee is woken from a dream involving two hunky men and a tub of cocoa butter when Uriah breaks into her library. She spends the rest of the issue trying to deal with the pest as quickly as possible so she can get back to the dream.

Fan Works

 * Pick a fandom, any fandom. Some romantic fanfic will have used this at some point.
 * Counts double if it's got at least one character who has some sort of telekinesis, mind control powers, hypnotism, or connection to dream imagery. There's a fanfic out there that features Sheldon Sands from Once Upon A Time In Mexico with the Corinthian. Who, surprisingly, doesn't have all that much fic out there utilising this trope.
 * A Glass of Wine, a NGE fanfic, takes a bit unexpected turn. After Hikari jolting upright in the middle of the night drenched in sweat...

Film

 * Roy gets one in both Shanghai Noon and Shanghai Knights. In the former, he dreams that he's in a saloon with a number of gorgeous women, one of whom begins to bite his ear as he tells them of his adventures. He awakens to find himself buried up to his neck in the ground with a vulture nibbling his ear. In the latter, he dreams that he's in a room with a number of gorgeous women and his friend's sister. He suggests that the two try some positions from the Kama Sutra and she begins to lick his face, only for him to wake up and discover that he fell asleep in a car and a sheep climbed in and was licking him.

 * In Belgarath the Sorcerer, Riva is visited in a dream by the god Belar, who gives him instructions. Unfortunately, Belar chose the wrong dream to interrupt, and as a result had to talk extra loud to keep Riva's attention.

 * Star Trek: Enterprise. In the universally reviled "A Night in Sickbay" (an unintentional Parody Episode) Captain Archer has a dream involving sexy Vulcan T'Pol, Asian hottie Hoshi Sato, and his pet beagle Porthos in the Decontamination Chamber. And you thought Slash Fic writers were inventive...

 * Supernatural: Sam has one of these featuring Bela, and is very flustered when he figures out who he's been dreaming about (after waking up with an extremely dopey grin on his face). He's even more flustered and awkward when Bela shows up shortly after to talk with him and Dean.

 * In "Amy's Choice", apparently Amy has dreams about the Doctor, at least according to the Dream Lord.

Dana has an erotic dream about Jim, which squicks her out to a great degree because they never got along very well, and she never found him attractive. By the end of the episode, she realizes that the dream was a reaction to the chaos in her life, where the knowledge the Jim was a good father was subconsciously very attractive to her at that time.
 * An episode of Wings opened with Brian's sexy dream about Helen. This irked Joe, as he was dating her at the time. Helen, on the other hand, had no problem in joining Brian in teasing the elder Hackett brother about it.

"Jason: Oh man Peter, I had the worst dream ever last night. Peter: Oh? Jason: I dreamed that Lara Croft from "Tomb Raider" was determined to make me her boyfriend or something. It was like eight straight hours of misery. She just would not leave me alone. She even threw herself on top of me four or five times. Judging by the look on your face, I'm guessing you had lousy dreams,too. Peter: Jason, are you familiar with the extra little prayer I say each night before bedtime?"
 * One 1998 FoxTrot:
 * Paige has these all the time, usually involving her being romanced by a handsome Frenchman named Pierre. One dream, however, involved Pierre and a Dashing Hispanic named Juan Carlos fighting over her, the last panel of the strip revealing Andy and Roger discussing that she was trying to decide whether to take French or Spanish in the new semester.
 * One 1998 Story Arc was about Jason having one of these about Lara Croft. Jason hates girls, however due to the beliefs kids his age have, so he spent the whole dream trying to get away from her. Needless to say, Peter was upset that he didn't get the dream instead.

 * In fact, she gets rather grossed out by the thought of it.
 * Tsukihime has Shiki being shown one of these by one of Arcueid's familiars, in the Near Side routes, as a way of showing her gratitude for helping her defeat Nero Chaos. Since said familiar is a little...inexperienced, the scenes can vary from pleasant, to slightly uncomfortable, to outright disturbing, depending on which heroine the player has him dream about. Shiki also has a maid who wakes him up every morning - combine that with a Raging Stiffie and Shiki apparently talking in his sleep for a Crowning Moment of Funny if the dream is about her.
