{{quote|"No, Fire Lord Ozai, ''you're'' not wearing pants!"|'''Aang''', ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'', "Nightmares and Daydreams"}}
{{quote|"I was up at the front of the plane, and I said, 'Listen, I don't think this is a real plane crash, since I happen to notice that I'm not wearing any pants, and when I'm not wearing pants, it's probably a dream.'"|'''Adam''', ''[[
A stock dream where the subject finds themselves in a familiar social institution (usually school or the workplace) wearing only their underwear, or sometimes nothing at all. This is often coupled with a high-pressure task (such as an examination or a deadline), and the thought that you have somehow ''forgotten'' to get dressed this morning.
Line 59:
* ''[[Eureka]]'' uses this... in the same episode everyone winds up sharing dreams.
* Willow mentions having such a dream in an early episode of ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''.
{{quote|'''Buffy:''' Do you remember [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Recap/S1/E12 Prophecy Girl|the demon that almost got out the night I died]]?
'''Willow:''' Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked. }}
** In season 1, Episode "Nightmares", Xander is forced to live through his nightmare of suddenly being in his underwear in front of the entire class. It is mentioned that this is a recurring nightmare of his.
* A ''[[Star Trek:
* Referenced in the "Cabin Fever" episode of ''[[
* In the episode of ''[[Malcolm in the Middle]]'' [[The One With...|with Dewey's chicken pox and the dominoes]], Hal has a dream that starts with his wife on a white horse, and transitions to him having a test in school for which he didn't study... and suddenly he's in only his underwear.
** The actor who plays Hal appeared in a video acceptance speech for an award the show won, wearing a tuxedo. It wasn't until he stood with a mirror to his back that it became apparent he was only wearing a tuxedo(or indeed, [[Naked People Are Funny|anything]]) from the [[Mooning|waist up]].
Line 83:
* Happens in the beginning of ''[[The Longest Journey]]'' when April sees a "dream" about Arcadia. Justified, as she actually ''did'' unconsciously travel to Arcadia while sleeping in her bed (and she didn't sleep fully-clothed, naturally). It happens again much later, when she has to flee after being awakened at night and arrives to Arcadia in just her undies.
* ''[[Dreamfall]]'' does this again whenever Zoe arrives to Winter (she gets a brand new suit of clothes upon every arrival to Arcadia, though). And no, this time it isn't justified by anything, so it must have been an [[Author Appeal]] all along...
* ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]''. Due to appropiately-programmed cutscenes it's quite possible to have the main character attend any number of serious situations, such as a business meeting with his sister, in his underwear. Or any other clothes one can acquire, including a gimp suit.
* ''[[Dragon Age Origins]]'': If you play a female Noble human and agree to marry Alistar after he {{spoiler|becomes king of Ferelden}}, his response is "Usually after this I'll wake up, or notice that I'm only wearing my underpants and everyone laughs at me. "
* A comment Hawke can make to Merrill during his/her final talk to the companions in The Last Straw quest of ''[[Dragon Age II]]'' when she asks if it all feels like a dream: "In a moment, I'll look down and see that I have no pants on."
